WHO talks The principal activities of the WHO are talks on the third Tuesday of February, March, April, May, June, September, October and November. The December talk is usually on the second Tuesday to avoid 'clashing' with pre-Christmas preparations. In July there is a trip to a local place of interest. (However in 2026 the field trip is in June and there is a talk in July.) The annual meal followed by a short AGM takes place on the third Tuesday in January. There may be an informal social on the third Tuesday in August. Meetings take place in the Jubilee Room of Wymeswold Memorial Hall, Clay Street, Wymeswold, LE12 6TY and start promptly at 7.45 p.m.. Non-members most welcome but will be asked to contribute £3.00. There is a lift to the Jubilee Room if visitors have difficulty with stairs.
