This year’s AGM will be held on Tuesday 19 March 2024 at Beckett Hall, Cathedral House. Please see full notice details below. Thank you all for your continued support over the last year. We look forward to seeing everyone and catching up on community news and activities.

Of course, our AGM also provides a unique opportunity to hear a fascinating talk by this year’s speaker. We are delighted to welcome Matt Wingett a writer with an interest in all sorts of things, but right now his number one interest is the little island where we live – the island city of Portsmouth. He will be presenting a talk on the Mysteries of Portsmouth. Sea Monsters, Ghosts, UFOs, King Arthur and even the Holy Grail have appeared in myths, legends and journalism in connection with Portsmouth over the years. Join local author Matt Wingett as he takes you through obscure newspaper reports and little-known historical and not-quite-historical sources to discover the real stories behind the strange tales that made it into the news.

The venue will be open from 7pm should you like to come along and mingle before AGM business commences. Please be aware — the Cathedral House has a maximum capacity of 60 owing to government fire regulations; therefore, attendance is strictly on a first come first served basis by fully paid-up FOOPA members. For security reasons, latecomers will not be admitted after 7 30 pm because the front door of the building cannot be left open unattended.
