The event is open to anyone who wishes to pop in and a have a hot drink whilst raising money for a very worthwhile charity.
Club chairman, Russell Pryde, said: “We are delighted to be hosting our first Macmillan Cancer Support coffee morning at the club.
“We have the facility and thanks to our team of dedicated volunteers we can make use of the club for events like this.
“As a club we are always happy to help other causes as much as we can, last year we donated a large amount of food to the local food bank and we will be doing this again later this year.
“I hope that local people pop in during the coffee morning and we raise a good amount of money for Macmillan.”
For anyone wanting more information then can email the club at hello@csstrollers.com and the club is based at 25 Marine Drive.
