month between September and May at Mitchel Troy Village Hall, Monmouth NP25 4BD, starting at 7.30pm. The club’s first meeting of the new season is on 7 September 2018 with a presentation by Sleepy Robot (sleepyrobotphotogr.wixsite. com/sleepy/composites) for which there’s a small entry fee for non members.
