Shirley Late Knights
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.

Who are we?

We are a Club with about 50 something members who meet regularly once a month for speaker meetings, the occasional devious quiz, discussions, outside meetings, barbeques in the summer, and generally trying to keep Shirley Round Table in order.

 

We also have our annual challenge match against Shirley Table taking part in something vaguely sporty (for example skittles or bowls), although not too strenuous. After all, we wouldn't want to tire out the youngsters, would we! This is known as the Cec Crossley Trophy (Cec is pronounced "Sess") and the holders have to organise next years event.

TRAVEL HISTORY

See where Shirley 41 Club have been over the years.

 

 

 

There have been trips to many places around Europe and our history page outlines these trips, including 'highlight moments' and in some cases further links to the actual report and photos!

SUBS DOCUMENT

The agreed subs proposal that was passed at the May meeting in 2010 is added here for the benefit of our club members. It is suggested that members read through it to be clear how a leave of absence (if required) should be requested.

 

It is summed up in fewer words in the Chairman's report in  Bifocus - click here to read it.

But before that, an apology! I have got rather behind with the website, sorry guys, but hopefully now things are a little calmer and I should have more time to keep it up to date!

 

PRIZE - Well, it's TBA I'm afraid ... but watch this space for future references ...
