Bosom Pals Meetings
Bosom Pals Meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 7.45pm to around 9.45pm in the hall of the Church of the Transfiguration, Bedford Road, Kempston, Bedford, MK42 8BQ. This is located opposite Addison Park, between Cleveland Street and Margetts Road. There is plenty of parking both on the driveway down to the church and in the overspill car park adjacent to the hall.
We provide tea or coffee and biscuits at the beginning of the meeting, followed by a talk or demonstration of about 3/4 hour on a large variety of subjects. We usually have an “open” meeting in January, where members come along and just talk to each other about anything and everything. Your first meeting is free, after that we charge an entry fee of £2 per meeting which helps to cover our costs.
Prospective new members are always most welcome to attend one of our meetings to see if they would like to join us.
