Programme for 2021

The Coronavirus pandemic again played havoc with our plans for this year. We finally had a few meetings via Zoom. It proved to be useful for illustrated talks, but as everyone was drinking different wines it wasn’t ideal. It was good to see people again though.

In the second part of the year we were able to resume physical meetings. There was only a small turnout at first, but numbers rapidly increased to fill the tables.
