The Investment Club has been running for just under 25 years, but we always welcome new or potential members. 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.

Wed 16 Oct 2024 - 20:00 to 23:00
Moon And Stars Pub, 164-166 Penge High Street, Penge, London SE20 7QS (Click for Map)

We hold two pub evenings a month on the first and third Wednesdays, with all the other Wednesdays being Zoom pub evenings. We also normally have a monthly quiz on the last Wednesday of the month, during the Zoom evening, at about 9pm, where a different member of our group prepares the questions to be used each month.

This means that tonight is an actual pub evening.

We are meeting at the Moon and Stars in Penge High Street, near the Sainsbury supermarket. The pub is a Wetherspoon establishment so we all know what to expect! Look for the IVC name on one of the tables. We usually try to sit towards the back of the pub, possibly in one of the booths on the right hand side.
