Meetings & Events

The Club meets on the third Tuesday of each month except December when it is the second Tuesday. The venue for meetings is the upstairs room at the East Grinstead Rugby Football Club, The Gearon Pavilion, Saint Hill Road, East Grinstead RH19 4JU, where members gather at 10.00am for conversation and coffee, conduct routine Club business, listen to a guest speaker and questions. At around midday members can opt to return to the bar for a drink and lunch. 

A programme of visits to varied and fascinating places are arranged during the year where members are joined by wives, partners and friends. These local trips include museums, stately homes, gardens, canal cruises, theatre shows and heritage railway outings. Sometimes a coach is used for transport but more frequently these days members organise their own transport.

The Club organises a short holiday each year, usually in the UK but also to mainland Europe. All holidays aim to have a sense of fun, to visit new places of interest and represent a tremendous opportunity for members and partners to socialise over a longer period of around severn days.. Travel is normally by coach, but train and air transport have been used in the past. Holidays are planned such that people with restricted mobility can participate as much as possible. 

A Spring and Autumn lunch takes place with members and wives / partners and at Christmas time a lunch takes place to celebrate the season and recall the year's achievements.
