As you will all be too aware, Covid played havoc with our lives and, for this Club, with our program over the past year. We managed however to provide a stimulating selection of safe activities for the season as set out below. THE 2022/23 PROGRAM WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY and we look forward to meeting up once again with fellow Club members.
