Come along and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and improve your network of friends and business contacts. Each month we have either a guest speaker or a topic to cover, plus time for general discussion.
You can view the video from our last meeting below: “Water tanks now – How to get your rain harvesting system right” with John Caley from Ecological Design.
