BNRA MEETINGS 2023 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BNRA meetings are held in Oxfordshire as per our BNRA calendar usually on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 10am -1pm.  

 

Change in Meeting Venue

 

We have traditionally held our BNRA meetings from September to April at the Bear at Woodstock for the last 20 years.  However, very large price increases at the Bear and also parking charges at Woodstock have resulted in the BNRA seeking an alternative venue that offers better value to members.

 

 

The BNRA Committee apologise for any inconvenience as we resolve these issues
