Activities

Activities of the Woodbridge & Melton Society

Two of the main activities of the Society are to hold meetings, at which there is usually a speaker and a topic of local interest or importance, and to organise visits to places of interest. The Society's involvement in monitoring planning applications is described on the Planning page.

Society Meetings 2023/24

The Society organises a number of talks during the autumn and winter. The  meetings are held in Woodbridge Quay Church   (Quay Street, IP12 1BX) . Access is from Quay Street along the side of the building. The church is well equipped for meetings but car parking is extremely limited so we advise parking near the railway station if necessary.  If you are interested in any of the talks or want to know more about what the Society does, please join us at any of these meetings - you will be very welcome. We make a charge (£5) for non-members. All meetings begin at 7:30 p.m.
