About us

We shall meeting in person again on Thursday 12 February 2026 (we do not meet in August) in Victoria Road, Salisbury starting at 2pm.  All supporters welcome but note it is a business meeting. The group was established over 51 years ago. We held a photo op on 3 October in Salisbury Market square by the Guildhall.

Readers might like to note that we hosted the author and journalist Peter Oborne who Came to Salisbury on 21st to talk about his new book ‘Complicit’. It discusses the conflict taking place in Gaza. Details on our website or see below ‘Britain’s role in the destruction of Gaza’. Free with a parting collection. The event was a great success.
