If you are thinking of travelling to a branch meeting by public transport please contact the branch prior to the meeting so that we may advise on the travel options available. In many cases we can offer assistance in getting to and from Pimperne Village Hall from nearby train stations.
 
Time
 
Unless otherwise indicated doors open at 2.00 p.m. for a prompt 2.30 p.m. start. Meetings normally finish around 5.00 p.m.
 
Entrance
 
All branch meetings are open to the general public. Everyone attending a branch meeting is invited to pay a small donation - £4 per person per meeting is suggested.
 
Light refreshments are provided before and during the interval at all meetings.
 
Donations at meetings constitute the vast majority of branch income which is used to meet the cost of room hire, speaker's expenses and part of the cost of a range of activities all linked to the core functions of the branch.
