Parking is free in the nearby side-streets and in the pub car-park. There are quite a few bus routes in the local vicinity. Most members will be eating here tonight and the meal prices and menu are typical for this type of pub.

Look for the IVC name on one of the tables. We usually try to sit towards the back of the pub on the right hand side, in the restaurant area.

How to find us:     On Zoom - contact Roland in advance for link

Some of the Beckenham & Bromley MYN group participate in a monthly Investment Club where we each contribute £25 to invest in UK equities.

Prospective members are given up to three months to decide whether to join as active members.

The choice of which shares to buy, or to sell, is decided by those particpating in tonight's meeting in a majority decision.. The meeting gives everyone a chance to discuss the stock market, the economy or anything else which members have noted could effect the various share prices.

Contact Roland in advance, preferably by e-mail, so that he can send you a link to click on at the start of the meeting.

The newly refurbished big pool at the Porchester Centre is reserved exclusively for IVC from 20.15 to 21.00 on Wednesdays.  We can get access to the changing rooms from about 20.00.  Because the pool is bigger than most local pools we have plenty space to swim around.  From 8.30 there is an informal game of water polo in the deep end for those who wish to join in. Afterwards we meet at a nearby pub, the Leinster Arms in Leinster Terrace.    Do not pay on entry but pay our treasurer afterwards.  Queensway, Bayswater and Royal Oak stations are all nearby.
