CHANGE OF CLUB MEETING PLACE & HALL.

We are pleased to announce that our club events will now occur at the Plenty Hall – 21 Memorial Drive, Plenty.
This is just off Yan Yean Road and only 5 minutes from the end of the Metropolitan Ring Road.
This hall is twice the size of the old hall. It’s another fine, heritage-style, timber hall. It boasts ample parking as well as many other great features. There is even a popular café and coffee shop a short walk away (approx 50 meters).
