Latest Notices
Monthly Meeting February 2026
Three groups, Photography4Fun, Science and Wine Tasting, currently meet in Holme Pierrepont and Gamston Village Hall in the village of Gamston. In addition we have used the hall for one off meetings, the latest being a presentation from the police on how to recognise on-line fraud and scams. The facilities in the hall are very good with a ceiling mounted projector and screen, as well as a kitchen, plus it is always clean when we arrive. Some members have hired the hall for their private events. We are fortunate to have this facility available to our local community.
