About this Outport
The North East of England Outport covers a large area extending from The Wash in the South, to the Borders in the North, and the Pennines in the West. As such it incorporates the significant port areas of Humber, Tyne, Tees, etc.
The Outport hold Business Meetings four times per year in February, April, June and October, always on the third Monday of the month. The first two of the year are held in York, with the latter two being held in Hull and Newcastle. The meetings are engaging and cover a wide range of topics and discussions with members young and old.
Following our meetings we traditionally enjoy a three course lunch at our chosen venue, to which our guests are invited, and this is usually followed by a guest speaker providing an entertaining and informative talk.

Social Events
In addition to our regular meetings, we host a Christmas Luncheon at the Merchant Taylors Hall in York on the first Tuesday of December. This event is not to be missed as we are joined by the current Master of the Company, and it always proves to be a highlight of the calendar.
