All clubs are asked to send in their Meeting Notices in advance of their meetings. You never know you may get some visitors from other Apex 40 clubs by notifying your meetings in advance.

At present there are meeting notices from 13 clubs on the site, but there are at least 32 affiliated clubs, so"where the b#^^*y hell are you". Photos and a few words about your activities are also welcome.

Note about Apex 40

Apex 40 is not a Service Club, but an organisation formed to foster fellowship among past Apexians and their partners, and to retain the many friendships formed during their Apex years. It also exists to assist Apex, when asked, and not to operate in opposition to Apex. It is open to past members and their partners, and also Ex-World Councillors who have retired from their respective organisations.
