PONTELAND SENIOR GENTLEMEN`S CLUB

“Ponteland Senior Gentlemen’s Club was founded in 1975 with the aim of encouraging fellowship within the community in an informal and relaxed environment.Meetings on the second Monday of each month host a guest speaker covering a wide range of interesting and topical subjects followed by light refreshments.During the year 2 visits to local venues with lunch are organised and once a year we celebrate our Club with a formal Dinner and Ladies Night.

Our meetings are held in The Memorial Hall,Ponteland,at 2.0. for 2.30pm. and guests /new members are always welcome-attendance is as you wish,without the need for apologies for absence and dress is casual.

Why not give our Club a try-for the annual subscription of £12.00 you can enjoy a lively and interesting atmosphere with the opportunity of making new friends and catching up with those you already know.
