The Society meets on the 4th Thursday of each month (except December) at the Unley Citizen's Centre in Arthur St., Unley. The doors are open from about 7pm and the meeting starts at 7:45pm. Most meetings feature talks from guest speakers who cover a wide range of topics of interest to our members and like-minded people.

Before and after the meeting, members can borrow books from the library. The society also has books and propagation material for sale at the meetings.
