Here are details of our 2023 Annual Convention to be held from 10.30am on Saturday April 15th 2023.
All enquiries contact us by clicking here
 
Our meeting place is Trinity Methodist Church, King St, Duffield DE56 4EU.
There is ample car parking, and the rooms (ground floor) provide good space for all demonstrations and experiments. This location has been chosen specifically as it allows a good blackout, allowing many demos and trials previously impossible. You're welcome to bring any equipment, items or literature to show, whether previously seen or not - and by all means invite any interested friends also.
 
We will provide light refreshments. Food (including sandwiches) is available from nearby shops, such as the Co-Op

DIRECTIONS: Duffield is 5 miles north of Derby and 3 miles south of Belper on the A6.  (On the local area map here, the A6 is YELLOW.)
 
Trent Barton Buses to Duffield:  The Sixes (6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4; all are yellow/orange) leave Derby Bus Station, bay 22, every 15 minutes, from 5 minutes past the hour and take 16 minutes to reach Duffield.
The stop you want is 'Tamworth Street' - dotted MAGENTA on map.
The buses have loudspeakers and stop indicators. Walk north a few yards to King Street; you will the see the venue, The Methodist Church, on the right. Our room entrance is to the left of the church.
 
(The Duffield Co-Op stop is dotted GREEN.)

For the return journey - dotted BLUE on the map - late afternoon buses are a little less frequent but leave from near the Baptist Church (across the A6) at 4.09, 4.39, 5.09, 5.29, 5.39, 5.54 and 6.09.
 
Rail to Duffield: Trains leave Derby railway station for Matlock at 52 minutes past the hour, arriving in Duffield 7 minutes later. From there it's a short walk along Station Approach to the A6. Then turn left and over the private railway line towards the centre of Duffield. Immediately after the bridge, King Street is the first turning on the right. Trains return to Derby at 3 minutes past the hour.
For those arriving by train but who then wish to take the bus, it's possible to buy an 'add-on' ticket for the bus when booking the train journey.
