Bottisham is a large, friendly independent group who became independent from the WEA in August of this year. We have been lucky enough to attract a strong numbers of students who come from Bottisham and the surrounding villages.
We meet in Bottisham on a Thursday morning with a break for a 15 minute coffee break in the middle of the session. We meet in a large room at Bottisham Sports and Social Club CB25 9DD, with Wifi available and a large flat screen TV for visual presentations. There is also free parking available on the site.
Please note the new start time of 10.30. Bottisham Sports and Social Club, Downing Close Bottisham
