Meetings to resume on Tuesday 12th October 2021at 7:30pm
We have decided to restart our meetings again.
PLEASE NOTE: meetings from now on will always be on the second Tuesday and NOT the second Wednesday evening.
We hope that all current members will be able to accommodate that in their diaries and hopefully attract new and previous members who were not able to come on Wednesdays.

Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 12th October 2021 at 7:00pm PROMPT
Please also note that the AGM, which normally takes place in April, will be held immediately prior to our first meeting this year and will be followed by the President's Neet. This has been moved forward this year, as we were unable to hold one last year because of Covid.
It takes around 20 minutes to complete the AGM business, but if you do not wish to attend the AGM, please arrive for a 7:30pm start as usual.
Please see the ABOUT US/EVENTS CALENDAR for details of the President's Neet that evening, which follows the AGM.
