Meetings at St. Hilda's Church Hall, Ashford, are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month.  On the first Wednesday of each month, we have an online meeting via ZOOM.

Doors open around 7.30pm for a meeting start time of 8pm.  We have to vacate the hall by 10pm.

RSGB Contests where you can earn points for EARS are also shown.
