Dates for your Diary

Wednesday Evenings - Wednesday evening sessions were offered by the Club for around 50 years, before they were paused when the Pandemic struck. These sessions have now restarted and all are welcome! Further details are available on this website, and will be advised at regular Club sessions.

Friday August 15 - This year's Prize-giving Day will incorporate the second running of the one-day Charitable Handicap event for the Sue Aldous Memorial Shield. Further details will shortly be available on the website, and also at regular Club sessions, but meanwhile, please 'ring fence' the date in your diary.
