The New Forest Club is a friendly & active group of men and women. We have 26 full members & 16 Honorary Members. Emphasis is on fun whilst helping in the community & raising funds for our charities.
Members live throughout the New Forest National Park area, including in Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst, Totton, Ashurst, Burley and just outside in Romsey, Lymington and Winchester. We usually meet in or near Lyndhurst or Brockenhurst and we take full advantage of this beautiful area.
We meet most Monday evenings, building lasting friendships and business relationships, organise many fund raising events including am/am golf and Christmas Collections which enable us to donate about £18,000 each year to local and international charities. Most importantly, we enjoy ourselves.On the 1st Monday (not Bank Hols) we meet with Family & Friends for a meal then speaker. On 2nd,4th & if a 5th Monday we meet informally at a local pub. 3rd Monday is for committees & business at local venue. Guests very welcome.
