Programme...

Our programme of events is below.

​

We usually meet on alternate Wednesdays at Bridport Town Hall. Meetings start at 7pm and doors are locked at 7.30 for security reasons, so please aim to arrive in good time.

 

Guests and visitors are welcome to any of our regular meetings at the Town Hall. There is a visitors fee (see event details for each specific event's fee). You can turn up and pay at the door or order in advance online by clicking More Info next to the event below. Non-members are welcome on competition nights but only paid up members can enter images for competitions. The club also runs other activities for members only which are not in the programme below, such as mentoring, special interest groups, etc.

​

A printable programme is  also available but that may not always be up to date as we sometimes need to make changes.
