The North Ascot History Group meets on the third Monday of the month at the Ascot Life centre in New Road, North Ascot
In July the club holds a summer social with a fish & chip supper and a very relaxed atmosphere. This gives members who have not played before the chance to "have-a-go" with less pressure.
The club usually meets on the third Friday of the month at 8pm.

Park Opera will perform a Night at the Opera in Bray, Windlesham and Sunninghill, March 14th, 15th and 16th 2024.
Park Opera is a long-established opera group, which has performed highly acclaimed fully-staged operas in the area for more than forty years. We are proud to invite you to a sparkling concert of popular gems from the world of opera and operetta which promises an evening of sentiment, drama, romance and laughter. Wonderful singing and glorious tunes are guaranteed, with passion, humour and pathos thrown in for good measure. From stirring choruses, romantic melodies and moving ensembles, there is sure to be something for everyone. Highlights include the swaggering Toreador’s Song from Carmen, the duet from The Pearl Fishers, the quartet from Rigoletto, the Barcarolle from The Tales of Hoffmann, and the famous tenor aria La donna e mobile. From the world ofoperetta, we bring you the hilarious Gendarme’s Duet as well as favourites from Iolanthe, Ruddigore and Die Fledermaus. Starring the outstanding soloists and chorus of Park Opera, the performers include sopranos Lucy Dickson, Debra Morley and Elizabeth Slade, mezzo Anna Loveday, tenor Philip Hayes, and baritones Ian Henderson and Simon Wilson. Music Direction is in the capable hands of George Priestley, and the accompanist is the ever-brilliant Jo Miller-Shepherd.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of the beautiful churches for a wonderful evening of superb singing and gorgeous melody. Refreshments will be available before the performance and during the interval.
