St John’s Church Centre, Ashley Road, Upper Parkstone, Poole, Dorset BH14 0AA

starting at 8.00pm (unless otherwise stated)

Admission (including refreshments):

£2.00 - Members
(includes immediate family and other members of your household)

£3.00 - Visitors

At most meetings our sales table will be present.

Please do not arrive before 7.30 pm, to allow time for the hall to be set out and our stall holders to park, unpack and display their wares. We will open the doors as soon as we are ready.

If the Church Car Park is full when you arrive, please do not double park or block Emergency Vehicle access, but continue up Churchill Road and follow the signs down Norrish Road, where 200 free parking spaces can be found just a few minutes walk away.

St John's Church Centre is opposite Waitrose in Upper Parkstone, on the corner of Ashley & Churchill Roads and is well served by local buses. The Wilts & Dorset M1 and M2 routes leaving Bournemouth (Gervis Place) at 1902, 1910 or 1925, or leaving Poole Bus Station at 1905, 1915 or 1930 would get you to the meeting in time. Yellow Buses Route 1c leaves both Bournemouth and Poole every 30 minutes.
