Meetings
The circle holds 5 meetings a year on Saturdays starting at 2pm . Meetings usually last around 3 hours including a break for coffee and cake and feature illustrated talks on subjects related to the LSWR.
The Sales Service is present at meetings enabling members to browse and purchase books. There are usually sample Portfolios from the Hutson Collection and Drawings on display and should members wish to borrow a portfolio they can arrange with the officer to collect/return them at meetings. There is also a display of models and other material brought by members.
