We run a series of FREE informal lunchtime talks and guided discussions on various topics in Unit 4, 48 May St, Bayswater. You do not need to book to attend - just bring your lunch and come along (tea and coffee provided). All are welcome.
 Genie Chatter is designed to help you get the most out of your WAGS membership.
The format for Genie Chatter is an overview of the topic, given by a
member experienced in that field, followed by general discussion and a
Q&A session. Semester 1 focuses on the physical resources to be found at WAGS. Semester 2 focuses on our internet resources.
They run from 12.00 - 1.30pm on the 2nd Monday of most months.
