Forthcoming meetings

Our main face-to-face meeting is held monthly on a Tuesday evening from 7:30 to 9:45 pm at our North Finchley venue, and includes time for sharing in small groups (“check-in”) with a break for refreshments. Our monthly online meeting is held monthly on a Monday evening via Zoom, at 8 pm for about 90 minutes and includes a short comfort break half-way.

Support for newcomers before meetings: Anyone who is new to the group and would like to meet one of us one-to-one for a chat before a Tuesday meeting is welcome to come early (from 7:10 pm) – you can let us know or just turn up. Likewise, newcomers are welcome to join 15 minutes early for the online meetings if they would like to have a chat before the meeting starts.
