Events
Here you'll find the details of our forthcoming events. All events include a two-course meal with a welcome drink, unless otherwise stated. In order to come along, you do need to book a place so that we can plan the catering. If you come "on spec", the chances are you won't be able to join in, especially as several events have been fully booked.
Booking To book a place at a particular event, simply click the appropriate "Book Event" link for the event (for most events, there will be a link for members and a link for non-members). If you are bringing a non-member as a guest, just click one and then the other for both to be added to your "shopping cart".
Guests Non-members are welcome to come along to up to two SWIB events, paying at the non-member rate.
Costs Events cost £22 to attend for members and £27 for non-members. Special events may cost more - where this is the case, it will be announced in the listing below and in the newsletter. Remember that £1 of every attendee's payment is donated to our Charity of the Year. If you cancel within 2 working days before the event, we won't be able to refund your money.
