Reading & Basingstoke Branch holds regular monthly meetings between October and July each year on the third Saturday of the month. At these meetings talks are given by guest speakers from around the country. Plants are often available for sale from members and speakers.

Reading & Basingstoke branch brings together the cactus and succulent enthusiasts from the area around Reading and Basingstoke. Other branches of the BCSS exist nearby in Oxford to the north, High Wycombe to the east, Southampton to the south and Gloucester to the West.

New members are always welcome. Either just come along to a meeting or contact the secretary.
