Our Meetings
Standish Voice committee meetings are usually held monthly, typically on the third or rarely the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7.45pm, in a private room at Alberts restaurant, on School Lane.
All people who live or work in Standish are welcome to attend.
We do not hold meetings in August or in December.
Rarely, a Zoom meeting is called and, if this is the case, the information on this will be published here.
Our next meeting will be our AGM, which will be held on Tuesday, January 20th at 7.45pm.
