Talks & Demonstrations
CPSG runs a monthly programme of talks, demonstrations and discussions relating to the paranormal. The group's secretary arranges for a different speaker to join us at each meeting, in order to give a talk on, or to demonstrate, a particular aspect of the subject. Potential new members are welcome to join us at these meetings, except where otherwise indicated. Further enquiries about the programme should be addressed to the secretary, whose details can be found under About.
The group’s main meetings are held at Friends Meeting House (see Location for details of where this is) on the second Tuesday of the month. Light refreshments are available between 6.30 and 7 p.m. and the talk or demonstration will commence at 7.15 p.m.
You can read a selection of reviews and articles of past CPSG talks and demonstrations.
