23rd of September 2024 :
And so, as Autumn arrives, our thoughts are suddenly drawn to finding indoor pursuits.
For the collector, this means finding places to go. So here is a calendar of our Branch and Club Meetings. Do have a look, and on a cold, but clear day, why not have a little drive in the country and meet new cards?
By the way, this is but a landing strip, if you click on the name of any branch you will find they have a page all their own.
To close, you may have noticed that this page is shortening steadily. That means it is time for you to send us in your club`s dates for 2025
And so our next event is:
Thursday the 26th of September :
Nottingham & East Midlands Branch meet from 7.30 until 9.30 pm on the fourth Thursday of every alternate month at the West Bridgford Conservative Club, Rectory Road, West Bridgford NG2 6BG.
