Our Events
We gather on the second Monday of each month (February to November) at 11.45am for a 12 noon start at the Hamilton Gardens Lakeside Function Cafe.
We welcome all guests (of members) and just ask for $25 to cover the cost of lunch.
Let us know if you can make a gathering or not, or if you are bringing a guest, before noon the Friday prior to a gathering so we can confirm catering numbers.
