The next General Meeting will be held at 14:00 – 16:00, on Saturday 6 October 2018 at Ross Street Community Centre, Ross Street, Cambridge, CB1 3UZ
Ross Street Community Centre is 250 yards along Ross Street from Mill Road, Cambridge, on the left-hand-side beyond the junction with St Philip’s Road.
The venue is fully accessible.
If you are coming by bus from the city centre, Chesterton or Cambridge North Station catch the citi 2 and alight at the ‘Romsey Terrace’ stop by the Bed Centre, on the corner of Mill Road and Ross Street.
If you are coming by bus from Addenbrooke’s, Perne Road, etc catch the citi 2 and alight at the ‘Romsey Terrace’ stop on Mill Road opposite the Cycle King shop.
There is cycle parking on the premises and on the street nearby. On-street car parking is available, free but limited.
Note: The Conference Room in Cambridge Central Library (the venue for our Inaugural General Meeting) was unavailable. Ross Street is considerably cheaper than the alternatives which we investigated.
