WHATS ON.
Here we will try to provide information about forthcoming events at the clubroom on Thursday evenings as well as the social events that have been planned. We will also give information on other events that may be of interest. Tickets for the theatre and some other events are usually limited so booking early is essential to be sure of a seat.
