What happens at a club meeting

Menu » Frequently Asked Questions » FAQ

Question What happens on a typical club night
Answer

We start as close to 7:30pm as we can, take a short tea break around 8:30pm and wrap up the whole evening sometime between 9:30pm and 10:00pm. 

A modest charge (25p) is levied for an optional cup of tea / coffee and we invite everyone who comes along to buy a raffle ticket (50p).  Through these modest contributions we are able to keep our membership costs low.

Some members have been known to visit a local hostelry after the club meeting ~ anyone from the club is welcome to join us.
