'The Group meets four or five times a year. Previous meetings have included discussions of favourite passages and characters, viewings and discussions of film adaptations, lectures on Sanditon and Regency England, Eliza de Feuillide and Warren Hastings, the Hidden Autobiography in Jane Austen's novels, Folk Song of Jane Austen's period and the Pleasures of Collecting Austeniana. Recent meetings have included a strawberry tea with a discussion of "What if...?", a talk about Jane Austen's holidays, and an evening of music that Jane Austen would have known.'

Lectures and related events in wide-ranging programme. Usually: 'This event is free to attend but booking is essential'.

'Please come along to one of our two-monthly meetings. You will be warmly welcomed as the aim is to make friends through an interest in Jaywick and its history. These are not heavy going evenings but just a sociable gathering to listen to an interesting speaker and meet people living in and around the village. Talks usually last about 45 minutes with a cup of tea or coffee at half time.'

Lectures usually early Wednesday evenings: 'All JustShare events - lectures, debates and panel discussions - are open to the public and free of charge. Fairtrade refreshments are often served afterwards providing an opportunity to meet the speakers and ask questions informally.'
