We’re a warm, welcoming group of women of all ages and backgrounds, each bringing different interests and experiences. Whether you’re working, retired, new to the area or seeking friendship, you’ll find good company, shared purpose and a place to belong.
We meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month, except in August. Business meetings run from 7pm to 9pm on second Wednesdays, while fourth Wednesdays feature our dinner meeting at High Peak Bookstore often with a guest speaker. January and February meetings are online.
Throughout the year, we enjoy engaging meetings, inspiring guest speakers, special events and outings. We also raise funds and support charities locally, nationally and internationally, helping to create meaningful, lasting impact for people and communities at home and further afield.
Our club was chartered on 8 May 1972, and ever since then we have welcomed many members. We currently have 20 members, including some who have been part of the club for many years and others who are welcome new additions.
Our current president is Deborah Ward. She is supported by our Secretary Elaine McDonald and Treasurer Margaret Jackson. Sorrel Burden leads Programme Action
Throughout the year we support a variety of projects that make a real difference in our community and further afield. As well as raising funds our members are committed to raising awareness, building community connections and helping where support is needed most
