Between September and May each year the Group organises talks on topics (usually) relating to local history and visits to sites of historical interest. Some of these are remembered in this section. Talks usually take place in East Meon Village Hall at 7.30pm on the third Monday of the month. Some are given by guest speakers, usually historians, and others by members of East Meon History Group who have been researching a local history topic.
Members of the Group attend free of charge, non-members are welcome but are invited to pay £5.00 at the door.
