Directions: Take the Redditch train from New Street and alight at Alvechurch Station, and the venue is less than a mile from the station. Walk down Station Road and Bear Hill, turn left on to Red Lion Street, continue over the mini roundabout into Birmingham Road, and the turning to the club is between numbers 4 and 6 by the school signs on the right. By car, follow A441, Redditch Rd/B4120 and Birmingham Rd and the turn off is on the left by the school signs before the mini roundabout next to the Red Lion Pub. If the car park is full there is a free car park on Tanyard Lane behind the Red Lion. Please do not use the Red Lion car park.

NB. The turn off the main road is quite hard to spot from the dark, especially coming from the centre of Alvechurch, but the turn off is right by the school signs, between number 4 and number 6.
