What we do
We are a local group and welcome guests
and those interested in finding out more about a rational approach to life.
At our meetings, which are open, we
explore and discuss ethical and social issues, such as human relationships,
medical ethics (eg, in reproduction and euthanasia), environmental issues,
ethical investment, fair trade, other belief systems, scientific ethics
(eg, genetic modification), issues in mental health, our relationships with
other species, law and justice.
Our activities centre around two
monthly evening meetings:
- one is usually a
talk followed by a discussion though sometimes we just gather to
discuss a prearranged topic
- the other is an
opportunity to talk about anything at an informal
social meeting at the Free Press, Prospect Row, Cambridge.
In addition we
usually have three weekend social events during the year, such as a picnic
and a garden party in the summer and a pub lunch in January.
For details of our meetings, see our Programme of events.
Members are kept informed of events and news with a
quarterly newsletter. Members
can suggest topics or speakers for meeting and contribute views to the newsletter

This site
The main purpose of this site is to help people make
contact with us and decide whether they would like to come to our meetings.
There are other humanist, secular, rationalist and
sceptical sites that are better sites for finding out about these topics on
line. See our external links page.
