To our welcome page   
 

Meetings are where people who are interested in the viol get together to learn more and meet each other. They are a great place for newcomers to start as well as a forum for the latest research and ideas to be debated. There are always a number of different speakers and live music.

There are usually three meetings each year (normally in March, June and November), at least one of which is in central London. They are free to members, but a small charge or donation is requested from non-members.

Meetings are free to members, although donations are welcomed!
