Snooker and Billiards
A snooker and billiards room is adjacent to the bar where there is a full size table. It is readily available for members' use and annual competitions for snooker singles and doubles take place as well as one for billiards. A snooker league is in operation for members to challenge each other in a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere.
Harry Slee's Suppers 
This gathering, started around 2001 by, a now deceased Member, Harry Slee, takes place on the second Wednesday of the month. One time when the steward was on holiday, Harry cooked a meal at the club for a couple of friends and it carried on from there. It is an informal evening with a 3 course supper. Members and their guests gather around the table for convivial discussion over the meal on a range of topical issues, religion and politics excepted! Usually around 15 attend so there is an opportunity for everyone to have their say or raise a topic. The discussion stays 'within the four walls' so individuals can feel free to express their views on the topics raised. In spite of the views and feelings expressed, the world outside carries on just the same!
Penny Black Share Club
The Club has operated a share club since 1999 and as we have a defined length of term, we are currently in the club's fifth term. Unlike most share clubs who meet in pubs, we have our own boardroom and make all investment decisions whilst still sober! Following the meeting, we retire to the bar and then partake of a magnificent lunch prepared by our chef. The earlier sobriety is not guaranteed to continue! Following recent changes with some brokerage companies not prepared to deal with share clubs, we have changed our methodology from a share club to now being the Penny Black Investment Forum. Given our recent return on monies invested has been a gain of 66%, we will ensure we strive to continue our success.
Poets
Our Poet's group is comprised of a variety of individuals who enjoy Poetry and Literature. We meet on the second Monday monthly. Following readings and discussion, we enjoy a delicious supper interspersed with debate on a wide range of topics. You don't need a degree in Literature to join our happy band, just a love of verse, an interest in all that's happening around us and the desire to partake of a reasonable quantity of falling down water! You would be most welcome to join us.
External Activities
Golf
A number of our members are also members of Prestbury Golf Club, one of the Top 100 UK golf clubs. That gives new arrivals to the area the possibility to play the course as a guest with Old Boys & Park Green Club (OBPGC) members, and each year there is an outing to the Club to play for the attractive OBPGC golf trophy and enjoy a convivial prize-giving dinner afterwards.
Cricket
For many years Club members have enjoyed an annual "Away Day" at Alderley Edge Cricket Club to watch the middle day of a Minor Counties match. This is usually on a Monday and includes morning coffee, a splendid three or four course lunch and afternoon tea, plus some live County-standard cricket in between the gastronomic episodes. The timing varies year to year; a booking form is posted on the Club notice board well in advance.
Walking Group
At least one Club walk is organised each year, usually convening at the Club late morning, before heading by minibus to a High Peak pub for a light lunch. Depending on the lunch intake and duration, the return may follow a variety of walking routes, with the end objective of a reviving evening meal at the Club. It's downhill all the way, at least until the 108 Steps!
Bus Pass Lunches
Around 2006, four Club members who were eligible for free bus passes formed the Group (hence the name). Members travel to pubs and restaurants about every couple of months to enjoy lunch together in a different environment and they don't have to drive!
