2024 Programme

Our evening meetings are held at Greenhill Methodist Church hall (Church | Greenhill Methodist Church | England) - see photo below, taken as we set up for the first in person meeting in February 2022. The large hall at the church has been refurbished and modernised and is a very suitable venue. There is car parking for about 18 cars in the car park at the back of the church and on-street parking on School Lane and surrounding quiet roads. The address is School Lane, Sheffield S8 7RL.
