The Past Chairman’s lunch is being organised by Doug MacKenzie and this annual event is another way of meeting and sharing experience. We also have an informal group called the “chatty lunch group” and they meet 3 or 4 times a year at the Brownlow Inn. Members from Congleton and District Probus Club also attend this lunch.
