26 Goldthorn Rd, Wolverhampton.

Normally monthly meetings take place commencing 8 00pm on the first Thursday of each month (unless otherwise stated).
(code of dress) Brigade Tie-Jacket or Blazer).

Attendance at the meetings is fairly constant but it would be great to see some new faces occasionally, who knows, occasional visitors may find that they enjoy themselves and become regular attenders.

After the meetings end most of those attending gather in the lounge bar for a while discussing old times etc, with their wives, friends and girlfriends.
During this period a raffle is drawn. All proceeds go to Club funds.

All in all, a very enjoyable evening. Some old friendships are renewed and of course a drink goes down very well with all that chatting.

If you are unsure at least give it a try, you will find you will be made most welcome and you could meet up with someone you bavent seen for years.

Dancing, entertainment and a buffet is provided by the R A F A club on several occasions during the year, these events go down well with everyone.

A full calendar of EventsJDances and Trips for next year is provided by the Guards club in February.
