Annual slide night
I guess most members won't need coaxing, but please do buy a drink or two as the pub manager is hosting us and providing a projector and screen for free.
Come along to meet other club members and see what they have been up to.
It's always a fun night and a chance to see what members have been getting up, and get inspiration for future adventures.
Everyone is very welcome, whether you're sharing slides or not.
