The venue for indoor meetings is the Ipswich Transport Museum, Cobham Road, Ipswich, IP3 9JD.  We are now able to meet in the ‘Savoy’, aka the Portabcabin, which is capable of being heated prior to the start of out meetings.  It should thus be more comfortable in the winter months than the open space within the museum which we have used since the pandemic eased.

More details of the events may be found in the Events Diary
