Our Talks for the 2023-24 Season
We had a very successful series of meetings and talks over the previous season - from September 2023 to May 2024. We met every month in the Friends' Meeting House in Cowl Street, except for the last (May talk) which was in Wallace House, as the Friends Meeting House was in the throes of decoration; we are grateful to Wallace House for their hospitality.
