While this is an adult-focused session, children are welcome to accompany their parents. We will have some games for them to play. Accompanying children will also need a booking for logistical planning purposes.
Non-financial members are subject to a holding period before confirmation (usually 2-3 days).
In order to vote or nominate for committee, you will need to be a financial member. This financial membership also gives you
