Club Meetings and Social evening
We typically meet on the first Thursday of every month from 8pm at the Elm Tree in Hightown, Ringwood (unless advised otherwise - check our home page!). The meetings are relaxed social events and
a great chance to meet other members in a friendly atmosphere, talk about all aspects
of free-flying and find out what is going on in the club. Some meetings also have
guest speakers. Non-members are welcome to attend.
