What is Circle?

As with any large organisation, Ladies' Circle has to have a structure, so that individual Circles can communicate with one another and organise events in an effective manner. Circles Firstly, and most importantly, come the Circles. We have over 200 circles around the country.� Areas Next come the Areas - 39 of them, made up of anything up to 25 individual Circles. Each Area has its own Area Executive, consisting of a Chairman and a number of Area Officers. National Council The Area Chairmen, together with the National Executive, form the National Council, which meets 3 times a year, to discuss issues and to formulate the agenda for the National AGM. National Executive Circle is in fact pyramid-shaped! At the apex is the National President, who chairs both the National Council Meetings, and the National AGM. She is supported by the other 8 members of the National Executive, who meet 5 times a year, to carry out the business of the Association The aims of Ladies Circle are: To extend friendship locally, nationally and internationally To promote NALC to eligible women To assist in the formation of new Circles To support all Circles to help them grow To be of service to the community To work side by side with all members of Round Table, 41 Club and Tangent To conduct the business of the Association in order to promote goodwill between Circles, Areas and the National Association To provide a varied programme of meetings and sociable activities throughout the year

Circlers come from all walks of life and join for many reasons - perhaps as a gateway to relaxation and to enjoyment, or as a way of participating in the local community. It is an ideal way for those who have moved into a new area to find new friends of a similar age. Members include single and married women from a wide variety of occupations: some are professional, some are working or full time mums, some self employed. Interested in joining?
