Monthly meetings

We have had some fascinating speakers over the years, both from our own membership and from outside, and continue to plan an interesting programme. Click here for a list of talks for 2025 and see what you have been missing!

Open meetings are usually held on the last Friday of most months. All of the meetings take place in the Main Hall, The Merse, Lochancroft Lane, Wigtown (please note the new venue). Doors open at 10:30 for refreshments and the talk starts at 11:00. The forthcoming meetings and other events are listed below. Click on the title of any event to see the full details.

Members, free; visitors, £3.

Have you got an interesting story to tell? Or do you know of a speaker that the members would enjoy hearing? If you do, our Talks Secretary 2025/26 would love to hear from you.
