Events Programme

The majority of the talks in the 2025-26 season will be held in the Hub at the Pavilion on Park Drive, Hethersett, roughly every other Monday starting at 19.30. Non-members are welcome to attend our meetings as guests, but are expected to join NES if they attend more than 3 meetings.

Since the first Covid lockdown, when we started to hold virtual meetings, meetings have been published live using Zoom and can be watched afterwards on Youtube using the links in Past Events.

For all meetings, a link to the Zoom meeting will be emailed out in advance of the meeting, to members for whom we have current email addresses.

Any member wishing to take part in a talk via Zoom is advised to download the 'Zoom' client, if they don't already have the app, onto their computer/tablet/phone. If you don't have one it takes much longer to join a meeting!
