GR does not give us the option to post meets.

We meet every month on the penultimate sunday and recently also we met on 24th December 2023. The venue is usually Amethyst and time is 4:30 p.m. The dates and time may change and so please join us on FB for updates.

You will be added to our Whats App group after attending the first meet.

We have also held meets online earlier may plan again.

Hi.. We will try but it would be quite tough to post on both. If your referring to the update only about when and where the next monthly meet will happen then yes maybe we can try to do that. As i mentioned earlier it usually happens on the penultimate Sunday at 4:30 p.m. and these days we meet at Amethyst.

Also you can join our Whats App group after attending the first meet. So request you to please try and attend.
