2025

Our program currently appears to be a little sparse at the start of 2025. This is because we lost some evenings due to flooding of our club room at Crosskeys RFC. As a result we have to fit in a couple of events which have to take place to complete the 2024 programme. Once we have these all scheduled in, we will be able to add further events in to the calendar. During the summer months we usually arrange practical Out & About evenings in various locations. We will confirm dates and locations nearer the summer.
