We arrange five winter Lecture meetings for the Society. Our lectures will continue to be held on Thursday evenings.

The venue for meetings is the Church Hall, Long Street, Easingwold. This is on the west side of the street, just south of the Pelican Crossing. The postcode, should you need it, is YO61 3JB. Lectures commence at 7.30pm. We hold a raffle and gifts of prizes for the raffle are always welcome. Raffle tickets are £1 a strip. We are also offering refreshments after the lecture, which we know allows members to converse with the lecturer in an informal setting.

Subscriptions of £10 per person cover the year from October to the end of the succeeding September. Cash, or a cheque payable to Forest of Galtres Society, either are welcome.

Members will  be welcomed at the Church Hall, each paying £2 for entry. Guests pay £2 in addition, ie £4 each.

Locals will know where to park near the Church Hall. For those coming from outside Easingwold, there is a small car park in front of the Church Hall, available for several cars including those with mobility needs, and our speaker for the day. There is also a North Yorkshire Council carpark nearby, off Showfield Drive.

We shall be using the digital equipment which we were able to purchase in 2009, from our Awards for All Lottery funding. We are using our new amplifier. It is much lighter to carry about and it is working very nicely.

It is with much pleasure that we invite Members and Guests to come to our lectures. We very much hope that you can support our events. We look forward to seeing you in due course and sharing with you the winter lectures for which we have made preparation. 

Thank you               Helen Kirk, Hon Secretary
