In-person visit, restricted numbers.
This summer we are visiting the Jewish Museum on Cheetham Hill, meeting there for 2.30pm. Full details will be sent to ticket holders before the event.
To quote from the Museum's website at https://www.manchesterjewishmuseum.com:
"Following a £6 million redevelopment our new museum includes a new gallery, café, shop and learning studio & kitchen as well as complete restoration of our stunning Spanish and Portuguese synagogue."
Sadly the café will not be open on the day of our visit but we will have a guided tour of all that the synagogue, now twice the size of the original establishment, has to offer.
We intend to meet at the Manchester Central Library, as usual, and these arrangements will be announced later.
OUR PLANNED MEETINGS FOR 2021
Our Anglo Scots branch meetings for early 2022 will be held online via Zoom but, as venues reopen, we are planning different styles of meetings including being back at Manchester Central Library. Please check the meeting details on this page and on Eventbrite when booking in case things changes again, as many of our speakers are now able to switch between physical and online meetings if necessary.
Scroll down to see details of our planned meetings or go to where we meet for our physical in-person meetings.
Light and airy, purpose built for meetings and events, and ample room to spread out the seating to comply with any restrictions that might be in place when meetings resume. All meeting rooms at Manchester Central Library are easily accessible.
The recently refurbished Manchester Central Library is our usual venue for our monthly meetings. Situated in the cultural heart of Manchester, the Metrolink station is at the front of the building and is the central part of a public transport system supporting the city and its outlying districts.
In normal times the Anglo Scots hold meetings every month except August and December, usually on the 3rd Saturday of the month. Other local events and the availability of speakers may cause a change of date.
Meetings will be at Manchester Central Library and will, of course, be in line with any government guidelines that might be in force at the time. It remains possible that our calendar of events might be rescheduled.
Booking on Eventbrite is essential for meetings with invited speakers. Please follow us here, on Eventbrite and on social media to confirm dates and, for most meetings, check when booking opens on Eventbrite.
*Booking costs for non-members are generally fixed at £3. If a meeting includes additional costs (such as admission fees to another venue) these will be payable by all attendees and not refundable.
Subject to Covid-19 restrictions and advice) In normal times the Anglo Scots hold meetings every month except August and December; usually these meetings are on the 3rd Saturday of the month (but other local events and the availability of speakers sometimes make a change of date more reasonable) and we try to find the best speakers to help us discover more about our Scottish heritage.
These are our next planned meetings. We hope we can hold them on the dates stated but, where possible, we have reserved alternative dates should the need arise. Booking on Eventbrite is essential for these meetings (please see the calendar page) so follow us on this page, on our social media and on Eventbrite to check when booking opens. Meetings will be at Manchester Central Library and will of course be in line with any government guidelines that might be in force at the time. Until then – stay safe and keep well!
