Programme of Events 2019 / 2020
Physical Meetings Cancelled for the rest of the season but a number of online events will take place.
Sadly we feel it necessary to cancel meetings for the rest of the season due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) threat. Many of our members (including some of the committee) are vulnerable and do not wish to attend events. Some of the judges and speakers we have booked have also said they do not wish to attend meetings at present. We will complete the Print League and DPI Trophy competitions as soon as possible, once it is safe to resume meetings.
Audio Visual Evening 30th March, from the comfort of your own home.
The club will hold the Members' Audio Visual show online at 19:45 on 30th March. Members have been sent an email with details of how to join the meeting. You only need a computer and an internet connection to take part. You will be able to watch and hear A/Vs from Melvyn Crow, Claire Gilbert, Mike Peak, Jenny Prior, John Newel and BIll Grinney. Put it in your diary now!
Here is the 2019 / 2020 programme of events.
