As a self funded, charitable organization the Crochet Club is mindful of unnecessary expense. We appreciate and value the offer of free meeting space at the Salvation Army Citadel and the Eastern Star Temple. There is no further affiliation with either organization other the use of the offered space.

The meeting will be held at the Salvation Army London Citadel located at 555 Springbank Drive – the corner of Springbank Drive and Wonderland Road. There are large office buildings right on the corner and the Citadel is located behind it. There are entrances off both Springbank Drive and Wonderland Road.

Just a “heads up” – with all the construction happening in the area of the Clubhouse, you might run into some road closures. It appears they are keeping the driveway open at 111 Victoria Street, but it could be open from only one direction.
