Event Programme Update

DH Event Programme Oct 2014 - Feb 2015Dorset Humanists’ latest events programme is now available for download. It’s an extension of the previous issue and now covers the period to the end of February 2015. As always, it includes stimulating presentations and discussions with a great line-up of guest speakers, and we’ll have a further update for you in the New Year.

Everyone is welcome to attend our public events whether they are a member or not, so if you enjoy discussing some or all of these topics with like-minded people please come along. Our members and visitors are people with lively minds who want to learn, explore, discuss and debate, while ensuring our society is guided by sound values based on reason, evidence and compassion. We hope finding a group such as ours will also be a source of great friendship and fun!

If you like what we do, and share our aims and values, please consider our optional annual membership, which helps financially support our group and enables you to participate in determining future group activities, vote on constitutional issues, and elect committee members.

December Bulletin

DWWe're just a few days away from the donor matching deadline for our Jane Bannister Winter Appeal, so if you are considering making a donation please contact us quickly! Full details are inside this month's Bulletin. We are again supporting two excellent charities - New Forest Nightstop and Refuge - so anything you can give this festive season will be hugely appreciated. Dorset Humanists is now a registered charity so we can also claim back tax if you complete a Gift Aid form. Full details from our treasurer Simon Whitlock (He can also be contacted via the ‘Contact Dorset Humanists’ section in the right hand column of this website).

Inside you'll also find some fascinating views on Christmas - including a Christian acknowledgement that Christians adapted Christmas from the pagans’ festivals, rather than vice versa as some have tried to claim.

We hope to see you on Saturday 13th December for mince pies and mulled wine at our last meeting before Christmas and we wish you a happy, safe and peaceful festive season.
