The objectives of the group were established at the inaugural meeting-“to look at the socio/economic and cultural aspects of today’s world, with a healthy exchange of information and debate that is non political and non polemic”. This wide remit offers the opportunity for a flexible approach whilst holding loosely to a seminar style format. Meeting is formally chaired, with a volunteer (member) speaker on an agreed subject followed by debate and discussion. Recent examples of subjects are; Age Matters, Are Our Freedoms in Danger, and After the Budget.
