Study Days will usually be held with a group of about 40 members and guests (space permitting). This means a less formal approach than the monthly lectures and speakers often encourage audiences to ask questions as they go along. With extra time a subject can be studied in greater detail and, where appropriate, members may often be able to bring their own treasures for discussion and appraisal.
