Basically we help people gain confidence, communication and teamwork skills in a friendly, fun way.

Our members come from a wild variety of backgrounds: engineers, teachers, sales people, students, doctors, leaders and business owners, to name a few. 

New members learn the Timekeeper role supervised by the Sgt at Arms Shen Mansell.
