Most club activities start from The Catholic Club carpark, access the club carpark from the Camden Rd entrance (small roundabout not shown on linked map) and park in the first carpark area on the left. Link to meeting spot location map. Please check with the Leader for the departure time from the club, please don't just show up on the day as the Leaders need to know the number of likely participants before the event.
