Coming events

The Society organizes visits, social events and talks through the year. In the autumn and winter, monthly talks are usually on Thursday evenings. In the summer, we arrange visits to local places of interest and gardens, including those of gardeners within our membership.

Unless otherwise stated, talks are at Browne's Hospital, Broad Street, Stamford PE9 1PF and the cost is £3.50.

Click here for booking details. We no longer require advanced booking for talks at Browne’s Hospital, and we do not issue paper tickets. We usually offer a glass of wine or a soft drink after talks, and a chance to chat to the speaker and other members. If you would like to join the Society, you would be most welcome. Details are available on this website.

2021 Programme online

COVID-19 UPDATE: all our meetings have moved online. Visits have been suspended as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Chairman writes:
"There is general support for the proposed virtual events as outlined below and the reasons why we are aiming to 'go forward' with the January, February and March events in this manner:
  • Our issued 2020 programme of events was decimated by the pandemic restrictions
  • Severe Covid restrictions still apply but there is ‘light at the end of the tunnel'
  • In the spirit of moving forward with some optimism, we plan to re-launch our monthly events programme in 2021 with ‘virtual’ talks in January, February and March. Talks will be ‘open’ to Non Members (tell your friends etc.)"

Thursday 28 January, 7.00pm-8.00pm: Talk by Jeremy Gibbs, A reminder of SCS origins, “How Stamford Became the First Conservation Town”. To join this meeting, click here, a few minutes before 7.00pm: meet.google.com/gok-xcfx-iaq from a computer or use the code gok-xcfx-iaq in the Google Meet app on your tablet or smartphone. If using a computer, Google Chrome is the ideal web browser to use with Google Meet.

Thursday 25 February, 7.00pm-8.00pm: Talk by David Lankester, “A Brief History of the ‘Men of the Stones’ Society.”  (The Men of the Stones formlly became part of the Society during 2020.) To join this meeting, click here, a few minutes before 7.00pm: meet.google.com/ryy-iaqy-zzu

Thursday 25 March, 7.00pm-8.00pm: Talk by David Taylor, “A Catch-up on the Future of Stamford.”  This talk will cover the Stamford Neighbourhood Plan including the current position on developments proposed for North Stamford and the former Cummins site. To join this meeting, click here, a few minutes before 7.00pm: meet.google.com/gyo-qfis-eqw

The situation will be kept under constant review to determine when face-to-face meetings become viable again or if we need to continue with ‘virtual’ meetings beyond March.
