LROS Meetings & Outings
Indoor Meetings 2026/27
Each year the Society stages eight meetings between October and May. There are currently a combination of live and virtual (zoom) meetings although most live meetings will also be simultaneously ‘zoomed’. We aim to record all meetings (live and zoom) and members will automatically receive the recording link within 24 hours, so they can watch the meeting at their leisure within the four weeks following the event. Live meetings take place at The Hall of St. Anne’s in Letchworth Road, Leicester, LE3 6FN.
The meetings feature illustrated talks by experienced ornithologists, artists, conservationists or photographers. They are an ideal way to meet and socialise with other members and the committee, whilst enjoying the excellent photos, anecdotes and varied subject matter of the speakers.
For more information on using Zoom see below. We may in the future be able to link such presentations with our indoor meetings – details will be published as appropriate.
All meetings are free to members and ‘walk ins’. Click the button below to go to our Events Calendar, and hover over / click the event for more information. There is no need to book for any indoor or ‘zoom’ meetings. For more information please contact John Bleby John.bleby74@gmail.com

Indoor Meetings Using Zoom
We have discontinued the live streaming of meetings using Zoom. Provided the speaker on the night agrees, the meeting will be recorded and all members will be provided with a zoom login link to watch the meeting in the following four weeks. That link will usually be available within 24 hours. If recording permission is not granted then we will let you know via the Grebe immediately preceding the meeting concerned.
