$85 Dues For Our Year Starting 1 April 2021
Your Board of Directors has confirmed that dues for our next year will remain at $85. We are hopeful that we will be able to meet live again sometime this fall. When we do start live meetings, our costs will be going up since Trinity Church will be increasing our hall rental fee plus implementing a special Covid cleaning fee.
There are two ways to pay your dues.
As soon as conditions allow, we will start live lectures at Trinity plus we will be restarting Activities so we are looking forward to a year where we gradually get back to normal. In the meantime, our great lectures will continue via Zoom.

To Our Members,
Royal City Men’s Club - Update Related to COVID-19 - Updated 7 March 2021
In line with guidelines from the government and public health professionals, Royal City Men’s Club continues to cancel all "live" lectures, activities and coffee club get-togethers until further notice. We anticipate that we will be able to reconsider live lectures sometime in the fall of 2021.
In the meantime, we are continuing to offer "virtual" meetings where speakers give "virtual" presentation using Zoom. Also, on alternative Thursdays, we will have a "virtual coffee morning", again using Zoom. Thus there will be either a lecture or a coffee morning very Thurs at 10 am (login open at 9:30 am). In order to simplify Zoom logins, everyone will be sent a single link which will apply to all these meetings.
If you have not been participating in these Zoom meetings, they are now running very smoothly. If you need assistance with Zoom, we can provide some training. Please let us know.
We thank you for your understanding and patience. We will continue to communicate via our mailing list and on our website to keep you well informed. There is additional information on the website.
In the meantime, your health is of primary importance and we encourage everyone to follow the advice of the government and health professionals.
