   Our venue is SPARK, 17-21 Piccadilly, York YO1 9PB (the container shopping centre across the road from Merchant Adventurers Hall).


    They have kindly lent us their community room upstairs (there is a lift). We can meet at 1pm and order snacks from their many ethnic food stalls. The picnic tables are under awnings with plenty of fresh air in summer and heating (and blankets) in winter! Accessible non-gendered toilets.


    Our meetings will be from 2-4pm, in person and online, on the second Wednesday of the month. Please phone me in advance with any queries and if you'd like to join us:
