Monthly Meetings

The Trent Valley Aviation Society meets in Diseworth Village Hall which is conveniently located around one mile from the Nottingham East Midlands Airport. We meet on the THIRD MONDAY in every month, unless otherwise advised. Doors are open at 19:30 for set-up and refreshments, and the meetings start at 19:45. We aim to finish between 22:00 and 22:30. Meetings are free for members.

The meetings are informal and usually feature either a guest presenter or an invited contribution from one or more of our members.Non-members are welcome at most of our meetings, but we charge non-members £2.00 to help us cover room hire costs. However, this entry charge is deductable from the membership fee if you decide to join TVAS - check out the table below for details.

We sell a variety of refreshments both at the start of our meetings and during a mid-meeting interval. The small profit we make on drinks sales helps us pay for the hire of the meeting room and avoids us levying a door charge to members, so we do appreciate it if attendees buy at least one drink during the evening.

Refreshment Tariff (subject to availability)
Canned cold drinks - coke, diet coke, sprite, etc£0.50-£1.00 per can
Hot drinks, cold soft drinks - tea, coffee, orange squash£0.30 per mug/glass
