Audley End by Tony Treglown


Our next Open Meeting is on Monday 15th April 2024.

Our next Open Meeting is on Monday 15th April 2024 at the Bowling Club in Abbey Lane, doors open at 1:45 pm for a 2:30 pm start. Our speaker is Andy Thomas who, you may remember, gave us a talk on Crop Circles a few years ago. He returns now to give us ‘Unexplained Mysteries and Cover-ups’ which promises to be a very intriguing and interesting talk.

Andy delves into some famous unexplained phenomena, including UFOs, ghosts, strange creatures, psychic powers and ancient enigmas – and why many investigators believe they are covered up.

Andy is a leading researcher into unexplained mysteries, the paranormal and global cover-ups and is author of many books including the acclaimed ‘The Truth Agenda’. Andy writes and lectures widely and has made numerous radio and television appearances.

There will be refreshments and the usual free raffle, so please come along for an entertaining and social afternoon – see you there.
