GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR MEETINGS
EACH MEETING starts at 10am and finishes promptly at 1pm
ALL MEETINGS are at St John's Mill
Picture shows the fully restored water wheel within St John's Mill
There are NO MEETINGS in April, August and December 2012. In December, the ISN Planning Group will spend half a day in prayer and reflection - please keep them in your prayers, that they will always be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
PARKING - Please use the "overflow" car park which is situated beyond the shopping complex at Tynwald Mills - thank you. There are some parking spaces for use by disabled drivers, immediately outside St John's Mill, and the building itself is fully accessible to disabled visitors.
Each session is complete in itself, so if you haven’t been to any of the earlier ones, please don’t let that stop you joining us now. We look forward to seeing you - new visitors are always very welcome, and we have a range of excellent speakers planned for this year, with subjects to suit all tastes!
THERE IS A SUGGESTED DONATION of £8 per person, per session, to help us meet our running costs but this is purely voluntary and our "No Questions Asked" admissions policy means that no one is ever asked for money - so please DO NOT stay away for financial reasons!
OUR THANKS to St John's Mill for continuing to make their excellent facilities available to us at very specially discounted rates
