The group was formed in 1992 after breaking away from the Women’s Institute as it was considered both expensive and less relevant to rural communities such as Great Bardfield.
Since the beginning of 2014 it is now our aim to open the membership to both Ladies and Gentlemen and of course visitors are always welcome. Meetings are held at 2.30 on the second Tuesday of the month in Great Bardfield Town Hall.
Members subscription is £30.00 per annum.
Visitors - £5.00 per meeting.
Tea or coffee, cake and biscuits are served following our talks.
Added to our monthly talks, a summer outing is organised, and our year concludes with Christmas lunch. Details of our talks can be found in the Bardfield Times and posters displayed around the village.
We would very much like to increase our membership and extend a very warm welcome to everyone.
