Club Meetings
BARS physical meetings are on hiatus until further notice.

The decision to resume club meetings will be decided wholly by the Board based on the outlook of this medical emergency. Safety and well-being of our membership is important.

Meanwhile, virtual club and breakfast meetings by Zoom have proved an enjoyable substitute. -BARS Management.

The club currently meets on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 pm via Zoom. Details for meetings are sent to the BARS email list in the days leading up to that month’s meeting.
VE Sessions
