Discovery Events

We try to spread events around the country to suit all our members.  We find it very difficult to arrange events in some areas.  If you would like an event in your area and are willing to organise it please contact Alan or Paul.  Without members organising events Discovery could not operate.  We appreciate those members who willingly and regularly organise events.
