About our Club

Club meetings are usually held monthly on the first Thursday of the month starting at 7.30pm. Most are held at St Andrew’s Parish Centre, Church Lane, Shottery, Stratford upon Avon (next to The Shakespeare Hospice). The venue is outside the town centre and there is ample parking space. The usual meeting format is a talk by a guest speaker followed by coffee and a business meeting.

Guests are welcome at all our meetings although pre-booking is necessary for our occasional supper meetings. Other special events, both social and to raise funds for our nominated charities, are arranged throughout the year.
