Summer Club Meetings

Summer Club is getting underway now and provided you are logged in, members will see the details for each week listed above as we go along. Each week we will also open up a gallery for you to post some images from the evening. The first Summer Club meeting on 5th June is described in full above and Trish has included an explanation of how Summer Club works for the benefit of our newer members

Members please keep an eye on this Programme Page each week for details as they are announced - but do make sure you are logged in or you won't see the details of time and place to meet - or which hostelry we will visit afterwards!
