Monthly MeetingsThese meetings are open to all and be held on the first Monday of each month (unless clashes with a public holiday) at Otley Courthouse 7pm Start.In general the first half will be about on-going 'business', with a short refreshment break before a talk/demo, often from a guest speaker.
The basic cost is just to cover the room hire & tea/coffee. First time visitors are free - 2nd time £2 or £10 yearly.
There may be a small additional charge for the second half, usually just to cover the speakers expenses. | ||
VisitsThese will usually be to local producers, orchards, etc. Again there may be a small charge depending on the destination. Unless its a long journey we will usually try to share transport to get there. | ||
WorkshopsSome of these are planned to be held at 142 Bradford Road and a small charge will cover expenses/refreshments. Places are restricted so book early. | ||
