Members will stop to meet around the club’s memorial where wreaths will be laid by the club’s oldest and the youngest members in memory of club members who gave their lives in wars and conflicts.

Non-members are welcome o join the short act of remembrance at the boathouse next to the Tramway Bridge at 10.45am on Sunday (November 9).
