Our evening events are held at 8:00pm on the last Wednesday of the month at the Braintree Leisure Centre (Tabor School), Panfield Lane. We use the Terrace Room which you will find adjacent to the Main Bar on the 1st Floor.
As well as socialising, we finalise arrangements for our activities and often have a guest speaker & slide show.
