Programme

Covid-19

All face to face meetings have been cancelled until further notice. We will continue to follow the government advice and will reinstate a conventional programme as soon as possible. However, the Government's bullish easing of lockdown regulations don't seem to take much notice of those that are most vulnerable. The recent increase in the rate of infections in Wales and throughout the UK confirms that we are right to remain cautious. After our trial of Zoom the new committee is working on a programme of virtual meetings for the coming months and beyond until it is safe to meet face to face again. The programme has a number of meetings "To Be Arranged" - Suzanne is working hard to fill these with suitable presenters. Check here for the latest information and stay safe.
Remember, if there is a speaker you'd like to 'visit' our club let us know.

Up North with Mike Davies

Thanks Mike for a brilliant presentation. It's a pity but I can't see cruises being popular for a long time since Covid isn't going away in a hurry.

Here Comes the Judge...
