LECTURE PROGRAMME 2018-19
Meetings take place at 7.30 pm at St Peter’s Baptist Church, Eden Close, St Peter’s Drive, Worcester WR5 3TZ from 14th January 2019 onwards.
Finding the church
The church is on St Peter’s Drive, Worcester, next to Tesco. The full postal address is St Peter’s Baptist Church, Eden Close, Worcester WR5 3TZ. If you are travelling by car and using satellite navigation you may need to use the postcode WR5 3TA as the postcode is relatively new and may not be on your satellite navigation system.
Car Parking
The church car park is very large and there should be no problem with finding a space. If by any chance there is no space left, please park in Tesco’s car park next door (we have permission) rather than in adjoining roads. If you park at the far end of Tesco’s from the entrance, it is just a very short walk past the children’s play area to get to the church.
Visitors welcome: Guest membership is £2 per meeting (FREE for registered students)
