Past Events - 2026
Monday 19th January - Monthly Meeting
This was the first monthly meeting of the year and Sir Tony Redmond (UK-Med) was the speaker. He spoke about his work with UK-Med which he founded and which is a registered specialist in emergency medicine, helping people in the most challenging circumstances. It was a powerful, inspiring account of hope, bravery and compassion, delivered with warmth, honesty and humility and the room was captivated.
Ten visitors were welcomed and, as usual, members were offered wonderful refreshments and welcome drinks. It was a brilliant start to the new year.

Thursday 8th January 2026 - Book Club
The Book Club met at Unico Lounge to discuss this month's chosen book 'The Stolen Child' by Carmel Harrington, a delicately woven story of family tragedy and a compelling mystery that will have you turning the pages. The discussion was led by Jan Murray and the general consensus was that the book was a bit slow to start with but was a much better read towards the end as things came together and the story unfolded. Scores ranged from 5.5 to 10 with most being around the 8.
