Welcome |
|
Welcome to the home page of Shirley Late Knights, more commonly known as Shirley 41 Club. We are a member of
The
Association of
Ex-Round Tablers Clubs
which is usually known just as
41 Club.
We are the 'follow on' club for
all those ex-Round Tablers mainly from
Shirley Round Table, and obviously others who have moved
into the area. For their website please
click here.
We have a comprehensive
EVENT ARCHIVE
that now stretches back over 13 years, plus a
TRAVEL HISTORY
that shows where organised groups from Shirley Late Knights have
been to around the world ... well, Europe mainly ... |

Millennium Way
Walks |
|
Several members have been doing various sections of
the Millennium Way
during lockdown.
There will be walks added into the
diary once lockdown is eased enough to allow it.

Chairman Bruce
Bragg |
Bruce
took over from Rex as Chairman last September and is
putting together a programme for the year, at least
the part of it after lockdown is due to end
during, so we have some activities and events to do.
The International weekend is already in planning and
deposits are being requested.

AGM and Officers
Reports |
|
The AGM for 2020-2021 should
be held on Thursday 1st April, but due to the obvious reasons (COVID
lockdown) this will not be happening!
However, due to the handover last
year not happening until September, Bruce Bragg will continue in
office as Chairman until the April 2022 AGM.
Officers have
(mostly) agreed to continue in post until then.
|
|
Web Masters Prize |
|
This is traditionally a VERY occasional
prize I hand out (bottle of wine perhaps, or possibly even whisky!)
just to see if anyone is looking at the website, or maybe just
to actually get you to look at it!
So, once 2021 allows us to do
anything that generates a report and photos, I will work out
something you need to do or look for and have an award to present.

Conference |

Next year's National Conference
in 2022 - I have no information to put here!
This year's
National Conference at Aviemore for 15th to 18th April 2021 is still
showing on the National Website but I have no idea what the plan is!

ZOOM Meetings in
2021! |
|
 Our
meetings during the first few months of 2021 have been on Zoom.
We have covered a diverse range of
topics of discussion, quizzes, music amongst others.
The lighter nights are now
lengthening,
and we are hoping to be able to meet up properly very soon for an
outside event, probably a walk and pub stop for refreshment.

WORLD94 TRIP |
|
 Several
of our 4 Clubs group went on the the World94 trip to Chennai in
India. The tour was an excellent tale of vibrant and colourful
Goa and India, parties, safaris, more parties ... and lost
luggage! (pictures gradually being added so keep checking here) |

 Colin and the rest of the crew spent an enjoyable evening sampling the brews from the Purity Brewery, after the obligatory tour (of course!). |
