Each year the Society stages eight indoor meetings (one a month with a summer break).These are currently held at two alternating venues: the Church Lounge at Oadby Trinity Methodist Church, Harborough Road, (off the central car park) Oadby Leicester LE2 4LA (click here for map), and the Rothley Centre, 12 Mountsorrel Lane, Rothley, Leicester LE7 7PR (click here for map). Both these venues are next to large car parks.

The meetings feature illustrated talks by experienced ornithologists, artists, conservationists or photographers, whilst you can also socialise with other members and meet the committee. All meetings are free to members. For more information, please contact John Hague.
