PCCGB

PCCGB regional meetings are held throughout the year – and usually feature a guest speaker along with sales tables and ‘junk’ auctions. The dates and info are listed below, but are subject to change – if making a special journey please check with the regional chairman beforehand. We will of course keep this page updated through the year.

Many regions are continuing to hold regular ‘ZOOM’ meetings – the information for these is in the current Tailboard magazine – please contact your regional chairman for information about the Zoom meetings and how to join in.
