The first meeting of our new session is on Wednesday 2nd September @ 10am from The Pearl Lady, Francis Carlow, with her talk entitled ‘A Passion for Pearls’. She will tell us about the history & science of the world’s most secretive & only living gemstone. Her talks are lively with stories old & new, illustrated with hundreds of pearls & shells from Francis’ extensive collections.

Francis will have handcrafted pearl & vintage jewellery with her on the day to buy.

The object of the Club is to promote social contact and wellbeing, to encourage interest and offer the opportunity for companionship among members. In addition to the regular speaker meetings, we have three small sub-groups who have interests, namely Books, Gardening and Knitting.

We meet locally and regularly from September to June on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 10.00am for tea/coffee followed by the meeting at 10.30am when we are entertained by a speaker at each meeting on a wide range of subjects. We also meet informally for coffee on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 10.30am.
