Annual General Meeting Update
25/11/2018
The Club's Annual General Meeting took place on Saturday 24th November followed by the AGM Dinner. It was good to see so many Associate Members attending the result of which is that the meeting has outgrown the Gloucester Room so, for the first time, the AGM was broadcast as a live feed to the members attending in the Back Bar.

Autumn Series Quiz Results
17/11/2018
Well done to Barbara and Jim for another full on fun series of quizes. So good we had to commandeer the Dining Room as the numbers had out grown the Gloucestere Room. The overall honours came down to a close fight between the Gigglers and The So Wrong We Are Rights with The Almost Young Ones not far behind. Thanks Jim and Barbara - we are looking forward to the Spring Series.
