About Us

Creigiau 23 is a voluntary group of individuals whose purpose is to raise funds for the betterment of the village and it's surroundings.

Membership is for historical reasons male only and is limited to 55 places. Contrary to popular belief this is not because we are a secret society. In fact the converse applies. Neither is it because of some form of elitism, it is simply because the Golf Club cannot accommodate more than 55 members at a Dinner Meeting.

During the year we are actively involved in promoting and organising events within the village such as the Summer Carnival, Santa Claus at the Church Hall (including a village tour!, weather permitting), Boxing Day Village Walk (now exceeds 200 persons), Wine Tasting evening, Ladies Night, Summer Ball etc.

All funds raised as a result of our activities are put back into the village and it's surroundings via a number of benefactors. These include but are not limited to The Scouts, The Church Hall, The Play Goup, Creigiau Junior School as well as additional deserving individuals and organisations.

If you would like to request a donation for your group or project then please go to the donation requests section, complete the form and ask us.

For information and enquiries on joining Creigiau 23 please see the 'Membership' Page.

The Social Calendar

Our annual social calendar runs between March and February with a new Chairman being appointed for each session.

The calendar consists of ten monthly Dinner Meetings (July/August are barren) at the Creigiau Golf Club which is situated at the heart of the village.

These evenings consist of a Dinner evening where members can bring a guest subject to available space. If you are new to the village and would like to come as a guest but simply don't know any members then email us and we will arrange it for you.

Guest speakers at our meetings normally speak for between twenty and forty minutes on a subject of their choosing or our suggestion.

Speakers vary from sportsman, professors, politicians, charity workers, TV personalities to enthusiasts who simply have a love of a subject they choose to share with us.

It has evolved into something of an honour to be invited to speak at one of our meetings.

The History of Creigiau 23

Creigiau 23 was formed in approximately 1970 by a group of like minded and farsighted gentlemen within the village of Creigiau.

The name originates from the fact that there were 23 individuals who attended the first meeting. The name has stuck ever since.

Since those early days Creigiau has grown and the society, which is non profit making, has become a leading voice in the village and surrounding area in representing the interests of our community.

As mentioned above a new chairman is appointed every year, as a result we have had quite a few over the years, as can be seen in the Past Chairman's list below !!
