Winter Talks
Come and join us in Matfield Village Hall. A warm welcome awaits you on a cold winter's evening. It's a 7.30 pm start for a drink, chat and catch up before settling in to be entertained and enlightened by a guest speaker at 8.00 pm. The evening wraps up at 9.00 pm, after a chance to ask questions and win a prize in the raffle. The talk season runs from October to April, see the programme below - if you weren't able to join us you'll find a write-up in Roundabout Magazine, or click the green links below to find out what you missed.
