Monthly Meetings

Meetings are held at 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start on the first Saturday of every month at Vine Church Hall, Rich Rd, Ilford. Each meeting usually consists of a speaker and slide show, tea or coffee and biscuits at half time, plant sales, raffle and table show. There is usually a comprehensive library on hand from which members may borrow books.

There is a £2.00 entrance fee which covers the speakers expenses and the half time refreshments.
