DIARY DATES

 

We now have a mix of in person and Zoom meetings. Zoom meetings avoid travelling in the dark winter months and allow us to enjoy speakers who may not have been able to travel to in person meetings.  All members will be sent an email before the Zoom meeting with instructions on how to join. Zoom meetings start early and continue after the talk to allow members to discuss things of mutual interest.

 

Our in person  talks are usually held at the Diamond Centre, Details at the bottom of this page. After  the talk coffee/tea/biscuits are served.

 

Guests are welcome to join us for meetings, for a Zoom link please email putting NIAS24 Talk Invite into the subject line of the email to info@norfolkia.org.uk

Sprowston Diamond Centre, School Lane, Norwich, NR7 8TR

The Diamond Centre is a former school operated by Sprowston Council and houses a number of community uses.

It can be accessed from the outer ring road, from School Lane which is between the Wroxham Road roundabout and the Sprowston Road roundabout. You have to turn left into School lane so a loop round the Sprowston Road roundabout may be required to get onto the North carriageway.

There is a large free carpark to the rear of the centre, off Neville Road.  School Lane and Neville Road are marked in Green on the map.  There is direct access frrom the carpark into the building.

Past meetings are listed elsewhere on this site.

As always the Chairman welcomes suggestions of speakers. If you know anyone or have heard a good relevant talk please let him know.

If you can give a talk of interest to our members please get in touch with our chairman. He would particularly like to hear of members who can make a presentation to the Society, be it for a full evening (an hour to a maximum of hour and a half) or just 10 minutes on a members night.

Reasonable expenses and agreed fees are paid  to speakers (or nominated good cause). (Download notes for Speakers Here)

Note we are now also looking for speakers willing to give a presentation via Zoom
