Talks

We hold a series of talks on a variety of topics each year, these are normally held at: Christ Church, Ireton Road, Colchester, CO3 3AT. For the most part, they start at 7:30pm during the summer and after the clocks go back (daylight saving time) 2:30pm. There are however a few exceptions to this rule and this page/the newsletter should have the authoritative times for each talk.
