Farnham AS has resumed meetings at Aldershot Cricket Club, and our meetings are open once again to members, guests and visitors. We are no longer broadcasting our talks over Zoom.

At the time of writing, COVID rates are thankfully low, vaccination rates are high, and no longer an everyday concern for the majority of the public. But we do ask members to act sensibly and with consideration for the well-being of others, who may be more vulnerable. So please do not attend if you are feeling unwell.
