As can bee seen from the 2008 programme a wide variety of topics and
speakers are presented and an audience of between 50 and 60 is drawn from a
wide area of Kent. Members travel from as far as Thanet in the east, Dungeness
in the south, Sevenoaks in the west and Strood in the north.
In addition to the main speaker of the day there are sales stands for
second hand books, photographic prints and Colour Rail slides. A video rental
service to members is available and a very popular raffle takes place during
the interval.
Entrance is free to members and visitors. A voluntary donation of £1.00
is requested to help defray the meeting expenses.
