The club meets at 7.30pm on a Monday evening (Bank Holidays excepted) at the Lion Hotel, situated in the town centre on the A6.
 
We enjoy fellowship over a meal and then listen to a talk or presentation organised in turn by the members - the subjects are wide ranging.

We also make visits to local companies, historical buildings and the theatre and hold social events as part of our fund raising activities.

Visitors are welcome to come along to a meeting to see for themselves what goes on at a typical meeting - just contact the Club Secretary.
