Talks & Demonstrations
CPSG runs a monthly programme of talks, demonstrations and videos 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 currently held at the Friends Meeting House on the second Friday of the month at 7.15 p.m, except where stated otherwise in the current programme. However, w.e.f. January 2023, the meetings will be held at Chesterfield Community Centre on the second Tuesday of the month. At the new venue, light refreshments will be available from 6.30 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.
