Programme of Events for July 2024 to Dec 2024
Some Meetings held in 2024 will be via Zoom sessions but most meetings (except "Walks") will take
place at Romsey Town Hall either in the Court Room, downstairs, or in the Council Chamber, upstairs,
which can now be accessed by a new "proper" lift installed in the rear of the Town Hall for the
convenience of those who may have difficulty using the front staircase.
However all events and venues maybe subject to change at short notice so check website regularly.
