Hertbeats arranges a number of meetings for members throughout the year covering a wide range of subjects.
Speakers are selected to be entertaining and informative. Events are now held during the day and at a variety of locations in the district so that as many members as possible can attend. In 2025 we plan to hold these events alternatively between Harpenden and St Albans.
The event allows time to meet informally with other members and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.
