All our indoor meetings (except our Christmas Party) are held in Blackburn Central Library, Town Hall Street, Blackburn. Meetings normally start at 7.30, however members start arriving around 7 to discuss various  things ! Feel free to get there early - even better why not take the opportunity to use the facilities in the Community History Library on the 2nd floor - staff will be pleased to help you. Meetings are normally in the Abram Room on the first floor of the Central Library. The library has an entrance on Town Hall Street and also on Northgate. There is also a lift at each entrance so no need to walk up the stairs.
