Etymology
Simon Allison
Studying the meaning and origins of words and their use. Third Thursday morning monthly.
Do you enjoy word puzzles in newspapers and magazines? Does it interest you that English spelling and pronunciation are so complicated – just think of the different ways we say “ough” in dough, cough, slough, tough? Join our group if you are interested in these and the ways in which the meanings of words have changed throughout history.

Philosophy & Ethics
Tony Blench
Meetings are held on the third Friday of each month at 10.30am in members’ homes. Each month a member introduces an issue in philosophy and/or ethics as a prelude to open, and hopefully rigorous, discussion. Questions from any of the world’s philosophical traditions and schools are welcome. No formal philosophical education is required, but a critical mind is vital.
