The Current Affairs group will discuss different issues each month. We'll choose the current issues that interest us most, whether local, national or international, try to understand why they're happening, and what they might mean for us. We'll be open to anyone to attend, as often as you like. We'll agree priorities in advance so we can think ahead but also respond to what people want to discuss.
Join us in person or by Zoom for a lively discussion about what's in the news.
Next meetings
7th April. Our meetings will be in person in Wigtown (probably in The Merse's small hall), online, or a mix of both, to suit people's needs. Please contact the facilitator for details.
