We will conclude the weekend on the Sunday morning with a Remembrance Service at St Mary Charlton Kings to commemorate the 81st anniversary of VJ Day.

It is always a really lovely weekend, as new and old members become family through our special bond! We always have a mix of fun, business, learning and remembrance!

Please DO join us so that we can commemorate VJ80 together – it is the weekend before 15th August, but this will enable you to attend other events also.
