Lunchtime Discussion Group - Open Discussion

Note revised date is Wednesday 28th January

Dine and Discuss in a friendly environment!

Join our popular Lunchtime Discussion Group for an afternoon of friendly conversation whilst dining at a local restaurant.

For our first meeting of 2026 we'll be having an open discussion. Everyone is welcome to bring along something that has interested them in the last year. Is there a book you've read that inspired you? Or a topic that you've seen in the media or online that you'd like to explore with the group? Or something that we've discussed previously that you'd like to follow up on? Come along and discuss it in a friendly environment over lunch. All contributions welcome.

About Discussion Group

Our discussions can cover any socially relevant issue. Participants decide on the topics for discussion based on their interests. From evolution to anthropology, from economics to psychology, from the environment to . . . anything that catches your interest.

If you want to contribute, we’d ask you to prepare something that has fired up your imagination. Contributions might be sharing ideas from a book or article you’ve read, or simply an idea that you’ve researched. Individuals will submit a written summary of their idea before the meal.

On the day, the group will question, discuss and assess the implications. If you want to come along to listen and comment, that’s fine too. The aim is to engage a group of like-minded people who enjoy understanding and challenging each other’s ideas.
