Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01425)

Cass,
Sorry, I have not heard of Joe and Elsie, but I can ask next time 
I'm on Russell Street.  I mostly visit the library a couple of times 
per month, very few of the lectures interests me, so I don't know 
many more people there then the officers. 

A group in Brighton, haven't I heard of, but Adyar has a group in 
Mornington. I get their program but I have never been there (it's 
too far). 

Carl

Although I have not attended other than TS in Russell Street.  I 
also recall hearing that there was a Brighton section which was 
recommended.
