We meet twice each month.    On the first Tuesday of the  month we have a business meeting and on the third Tuesday we have a speaker meeting.    We are very fortunate to have a large room at Rosegarth suitable for meetings.       Our membership is now 32 and covers a wide range of ages and professions.   

All members of the club become actively involved in all activities and try to support both club activities and those organised by Federation.
