The Posh Club
The Posh Club is showbiz afternoon tea & dancing for swanky senior citizens, elegant elders and glamorous golden girls. A social club for older people (60+), it is held regularly across London and South East England and now in Wales.
Common Wealth & Duckie bring The Posh Club to Cardiff for four events, celebrating the Four Seasons:
Spring * Summer * Autumn * Winter
