The meeting venue will be the Crosthwaite Parish Room Keswick, apart from the months of June and July when the meetings will be held outside of Keswick, in Threlkeld. Doors are open at 10 am when refreshments will be served and there is an opportunity to socialise. The meeting begins at 10.30 am and ends at 12 noon, unless otherwise stated.
