Meets

Meets are what the club is all about. They're run by members, for members. The club thrives by having members take an active interest in the meets that are run. We typically agree the next year's meets - where we're going and who's organising which meet - at our AGM in October. The Frequently Asked Questions page offers advice on what to expect on a meet.

Depending on the program or application you're using, you may need to choose the "subscribe" or "add by URL" option. Contact the Webmaster for help.

Annual Dinner -- Mystery Location (for now)
15 Nov 2024 to 17 Nov 2024

Where is the president taking you this year?

We'll keep it a secret for just a little while longer, but expect it to feature beaches, lakes and big mountains within a 30-minute drive, and a beautiful ruined abbey within 15. (A penguin award goes to whomever guesses it just from that).

Join us for the awarding of Rockhopper of the Year, commiseration prizes for all of the runner-ups and a glance at the much-loved but a little bit creepy Penny the Penguin.

BYOB! (But we'll arrange food, don't worry.)
