The Exeter Forum is a long established local organisation. Its offers talks and social activities for retired people and those otherwise able to take part in daytime meetings and activities. It meets most Wednesday mornings throughout the year at The Mint Methodist Church in Fore Street, Exeter, and at most of these members can enjoy a talk or lecture. Over the course of the year members are able to listen to over 40 talks or presentations. |
Members and visitors assemble for meetings from 10:15 am. After time for coffee and socialising, the weekly talk starts, usually at around 10:45 am. The talks are given by guest speakers and the topics they cover range widely - history, science, the arts, health, or civic issues for example. After time for questions, meetings end at about 12 noon. Visitors are welcome to come to these talks, subject to a modest charge of £4.
Over time a number of special interest sub-groups have been set up. These have included groups for music appreciation, reading and walking, which met monthly. At present, though, only the walking and music appreciation groups have restarted after the pandemic. In addition, our social organisers arrange visits to local places of interest from time to time and organise a New Year lunch. Usually every other year they also organise a Forum holiday, which typically takes place in the Spring. Those opting to go on it travel by coach to a distant part of the country for a few days' sightseeing.
The half-yearly subscription is a very reasonable £30. Those interested in finding out more about us or joining should contact our Hon. Secretary, whose details may be found here.
