Activities

Meetings

We hold coffee mornings five times a year, and lunches four times. Usually, they all fall on a Thursday.

Coffee mornings: For these, you just have to turn up but, if you do, please remember to print your name on the attendance slips before leaving so that we can ensure we claim a full grant for everyone who attends a function.

Both coffee mornings and lunches are now held at the same place, The Mecure (formerly Park Inn), Silver Street, Northampton NN1 2TA, in the town centre.

Lunches: Circulars are sent to members with the regular issues of our own newsletter, The Link, to invite them to attend lunches. We now meet at The Mecure (formerly Park Inn), Silver Street, Northampton NN1 2TA, in the town centre.

Note – Lunches have to be both booked and paid for 6 weeks before the event. Be aware that there are NO refunds if you cannot attend.

If you come by car, please remember to key in your car registration number on arrival in reception to avoid receiving a fine.
