Informal social gatherings

 

We hold monthly informal social gatherings, in a corner of the bar at the Globe Pub, Rainsford Road, Chelmsford CM1 2QJ (close to our previous venue and opposite the Esso garage).  From the main entrance to the pub, turn right and you should find us!

 

There is no admission charge and non-members are welcome, but the pub will expect you to buy a drink or two.  Food is also available – check on serving times when you arrive.  It is a Greene King pub.

 

The pub has its own car park, but you must register your car at the

terminal on the bar on arrival, otherwise a penalty charge will apply.

 

Meetings start at 1400, but the organiser will be there from 1300 onwards and lunch can be bought in the pub.  Dates are:

 

Thursday May 15

Thursday June 19

Thursday July 24

Thursday August 21

Thursday September 18.

 

Autumn/winter dates to be announced later.
