Directions to Monthly Meetings

Last Updated on: 9/29/2018
Our meetings are held at Sandy Bottom Nature Park, in the Nature Center Conference Room, in Hampton, VA. We meet the first Thursday of each month, at 7pm but sometimes this is not possible, please check the Events page for actual dates and times. Visitors are welcome to our meetings.
The December meeting is replaced by a pot luck Christmas party/banquet at the normal meeting time. In May and September, we have a Saturday cookout/workshop at Sandy Bottom Park in the Lakeside Pavilion all day long. The picnics also gives members an opportunity to learn the saws and cabochon equipment. Each regular monthly meeting consists of fellowship and a meal, followed by a business meeting and then the featured program.

Take exit 261(Hampton Roads Center Parkway) off of I-64; follow to the first stop light (Big Bethel Rd.) and turn right. Entrance to the park is a short distance on the left. Follow road to the Visitor's Center. The park closes at sundown but the gate off Big Bethel Road is left open on our meeting nights so people can get to the meeting.
