Events
We meet every other Monday in Upton Victory Hall Tennis and Bowls Club which is off Rake Lane, Upton Village, CH49 0US. Please note that this is a new venue from September 2024. Tea and coffee are served at 10.00am when there is time to look at the groups/events notice board or catch up on any gossip before our speaker at 10.45am. A list of speakers and the topics they cover can be found in this section.
There is a small charge for attending the Monday meeting. Unfortunately from September 2024 we have had to increase the charge to £3 a meeting - although we've held the membership fee at £10. When you pay your annual subscription you will be asked to confirm your personal details.
At the start of each meeting is a raffle organised by the social committee. The proceeds of this go towards subsidising the Anniversary lunch. It also pays for the entertainment at our last meeting before the summer break in July and Christmas.
