Invite to join ZOOM

As we are preparing to enter this new era of the Club, the future meetings will be held online using a software package called “Zoom”.

Invitations have been sent to all members in order to participate in the Clubs online activities that are being planned for the next few months. Further details will be posted to you all as soon as the new committee have had the opportunity to get together to discuss the programme. The Committee will have their first online meeting using Zoom in the next few days.

Thank you all for your involvement and I am sure we will survive this unusual period in the Club’s history.
