Change of Day and Venue for Croydon meetings

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to move to alternative accommodation for the Croydon meetings. The meetings will now be held at St Matthew’s Church, Chichester Road, Croydon CR0 5NQ. The church is on the corner of Chichester and Park Hill Road with buses 64 and 433 passing the end of the road. East Croydon station is about 10/15 minutes’ walk away. There is a small car park at the side of the church with street parking in the evening along Chichester Road.

Unfortunately, we have had to change the day of the meetings in order to get a consistent booking for the rest of the year. We will now meet on the 2^nd Monday, our first meeting at the new venue being Monday 13 May 2019. Subsequent dates are 10 June, 8 July, 9 Sept, 14 Oct and 11 Nov. Luckily several of the speakers have confirmed that they can still come on the new dates. We will update the website as and when we have new information.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by this move but hope that with the new venue secured, the Croydon group will enjoy many more meetings.
