'Meetings are held locally at regular intervals throughout the year, usually on the last Wednesday of the month ... We enjoy a wide variety of illustrated presentations by speakers covering many railway subjects and themes. These include mainline, overseas and the preservation scene. Narrow gauge railways are not neglected either.'

'We hold monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of every month, where invited guest speakers deliver talks on a range of Egyptological topics ... Talks cover a huge range of topics and are illustrated, we are able to attract famous egyptologists who talk about their latest research or exploration. There is always time for questions for our speakers or an informal chat afterwords. We encourage our members to share their interests with us during members evenings where they are encouraged to give short talks on all things Egyptian.'

'Our lectures normally take place at 1.45pm on the second Wednesday of each month - except for June and January - which have to vary. There are no meetings in August or December.'
