A summary of our club programme:
Business meetings are usually held on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30pm at Lysses House Hotel, Fareham. There used to be separate speaker meetings, but these are now combined into the one meeting. However, during the summer we will introduce a catch-up meeting on Zoom, on the third Thursday of the month.
