Croydon NHSRF Branch Activities
Meetings
We meet monthly, currently at 2pm on the second Wednesday. Our venue is currently the David Sweet Hall at East Croydon United Reformed Church and Halls, 86 Addiscombe Grove, East Croydon CR0 5LP. The venue is within 5 min easy walking distance of East Croydon station and Tram Stop and many local buses including 64, 119, 194, 197, 198, 312, 367, 410, 433, 466, 689 and X26. Turn left and cross the tram tracks when exiting the station, and then 2nd right onto Addiscombe Grove. The entrance is 50m on the left. Please take public transport as the car park is small.
We aim to have nine speakers a year, the branch Annual General Meeting, a quiz and the Carol Service.
