Events typically welcome 25–40 players, and guests are warmly encouraged to attend many of the meetings throughout the year. Every five years the society celebrates a major anniversary event. In 2022, members gathered at the prestigious Sunningdale Golf Club, playing the renowned Old Course before enjoying a celebratory dinner in the clubhouse.
