Diary of meetings and events
Do I have to attend meetings?
No! But it’s a great way to meet people, keep up to date with what’s happening in the town and more often or not a drink or two and some food is involved.
Our meetings, which are very well attended are always lively and informative are generally held on the first Thursday of the month at various venues around the town. We keep members informed through this website, regular emails and our notice board, under the railway bridge, in the town.
Can I come to a meeting if I am not a member?
Yes! We encourage businesses to attend a few meetings to see at first hand what the benefits of membership are.
How much does it cost to join?
