Typical Member Experiences

Our club organises a broad range of activities for members throughout the year, with interesting speakers presenting a broad range of topics at each general meeting plus outings, tours, lunches for members almost every month of the year. This page lists some of the activities and speakers enjoyed by members in recent times.

 To find out more about what's planned for future activities and speakers, visit the "Meetings & Speakers" and the "Activities & Outings" pages.

Another excellent source of information on past activities is available in the "Photos" section of this website, where photo galleries from the many successful club activities are available for you to view.
