Events in 2026
Here is the latest edition of the Association’s programme of events for 2026. We’ll add more details and links to event pages as they become available, so come here again to check for updates.
These are our preferred and planned dates, ports and venues but in most cases they are subject to confirmation closer to the event. We appreciate that you need to plan, and will try very hard not to change these dates.
Club night talks are webinars in our Zoom room from 19:30 to 21:00. For connection details visit the Discussion forums page. We are always happy to receive offers, and suggestions are welcome too. Jon Sedgwick coordinated the series this year.
