On Thursday 25th June between 2pm and 3pm we will be in the Lyndhurst Community Centre in the main car park in Lyndhurst.

Places are limited so if you would like to attend please email the Community Centre on [email protected]

The talk is FREE but we just need to make sure we have room for everyone.
