Our members come from the Lower Fleurieu Peninsular including Goolwa, Victor Harbor, and surrounding areas.
We generally meet at Carrickalinga House, 17 Torrens St. Victor Harbor once a month from February to November, with a guest speaker or an activity led by one of our members.

Contact with our group can be made via this page or by email to the President or Secretary.
