November 2025 Presentation
Our next presentation will take place on the 19th November 2025 when John Goodman will present The Jim Smyth Memorial Talk on The Wicklow Dead in the First World War. More details to follow later.
Christmas Lunch
An early reminder that our Christmas Lunch will be held as usual in Delgany Golf Club on Thursday 4th December 2025. The cost for this event is €35. This usually is a great social occasion, a way to keep in contact with members and a nice way to start the Christmas Season. Non Members are also welcome.
Booking is essential and you can book by emailing
Talks and Visits
Our Talks (normally) take place in the Family Centre next door to the Holy Rosary Church in Greystones. Talks normally begin at 7.30pm . A small charge is made to cover the cost of hiring a room.
Our Visits (normally) occur on Sundays throughout summer. Start times vary.
