We would like to publish our home telephone numbers, e-mails etc.,

but given the way some people abuse the internet

we can only ask that you contact us through our club e-mail link (click here).

 

(we will only reply to properly identified e-mails

not anonymous or semi-anonymous addresses).

 

or come along on a club night

- see the Programme page for the next one - and meet us.

 

The club currently has about 35 members,

and on a club night we can expect around 30 to attend.

 

Nigel has obtained a CCTV camera and screen which we now use

so that everyone can see in detail what's going on.
