Lectures
The CSA gets together for regular monthly lectures at Dunham HIll and Hapsford Village Hall on the last Monday of the month, local site visits, training days and other informal social occasions.
We have changed the venue from Reaseheath for a trial from September 2022, as most of our members come from North Cheshire. Depending on the feedback, we will consider other venues to try and minimise the travelling time / cost for the majority of members.
The lecture season runs from September to April or May each year.
If you
would like to suggest a lecture topic and/or speaker please contact
us.
The doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start, please do
come early to have a cup of tea / coffee and a chat, there are
occasionally items for sale and there's an opportunity to
catch up
with fellow smallholders.
