How it runs
Tea or coffee first, and informal fellowship, before the formal part. Then a short information session on coming events, a member talk of 10 to 15 minutes, and a guest speaker for the second hour, with audio-visual support.
In February 2023 the Keira Probus Club merged in, taking numbers to just under 90.
Technology and photography groups use Zoom. The monthly meeting is in the hall. Open the hall in maps.
