The group normally meets on Monday and Thursday evenings between 18:45 and 20:45 at St Aidan's School, Oatlands Drive, Harrogate HG2 8JR, during school term times. During school holidays, any meetings will normally take place at the school between 13:45 and 15:45, that is, during the day, rather than in the evenings. Meetings are held in the main school building, in one of the science classrooms, overlooking the school car park. Usually, there will be a fire door propped open for easy access. There may also be a board in the classroom window advertising the group, assuming that someone remembers to put it on display!
Below is the list of dates during 2026 when the group will not be meeting at the school, or where meetings are expected to take place on different days, at different times, alternative locations or when other arrangements are applicable.
