We are currently meeting on Zoom. If (when) we go back to meeting face-to-face, we will probably still have many of our speakers joining us online and we hope to have the facility for others to also join via the internet.
Anyone is welcome to come along to see what our meetings are like – but we ask people to become members if they want to continue to attend.
We meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 5.30.
Our next meeting
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 21st October – We will have two speakers from York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority. Mike Scott (Head of Transport) and Chris Hegarty (Bus Services Manager) will be here to update us on the progress made by the Combined Authority. We have sent a series of questions/topics to them already. These can be downloaded here.
Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings – just contact one of our committee members. The links are on the contact page.
