Our aim is to have a free and frank debate on any topic that is of interest to our members.
We operate in the belief that there are no right or wrong opinions, just different ones.
Members are encouraged to suggest topics and lead the discussion, but others prefer to listen. We are a friendly group and new members are always welcome.
Come to the Llanyrafon Methodist Church meeting room at 10.30 am on the third Friday of each month to join the discussion.
Topics recently discussed include
The History of UK General Elections
The History of UK Libraries
Artificial Intelligence
The Life of Queen Victoria
Living in Another Country
Animals of Etosha
Studying at the Open University
Diversity
No topic is out of bounds. Our only rule is that we listen to, and respect, the opinions of others without expressing hostility,
