Dates for Your Diary
|
The summer holidays are mostly over, the final Test Match is upon us, and the Committee has agreed an outline Events Programme that takes us through the Winter into Spring 2006. I thought it was probably time to send out another newsletter.
|
|
|
- 9 September - Aviation in Kent- “Early Birds” - Report due shortly. Bill Croydon presented a fascinating description of the importance of the Isle of Sheppey to the early fliers (“Early Birds”) at the beginning of the 20th Century. Highly entertaining.
|
- 9 October: Fungus Foray with Jo Weightman in local woodland.
|
- 28 October: AGM and speaker on Lord Nelson - “Episodes from a crowded life” - Anthea Bryant is our expert speaker.
To whet your appetite, there will be television coverage on 16th September for the reconstruction of Nelson’s funeral procession up the Thames.
|
- 23 November: Local Water Pumping Stations - an illustrated talk.
|
- 21 December: Members Only: The third year in this wonderful house for our extremely popular Christmas Carols and an open fire with mulled wine and seasonal fayre. Details to follow.
|
- January 2006: Fruit growing in Kent - we hope to get a speaker from Brogdale if possible.
|
- End of January: Committee supported involvement in this year’s RSPB Birdwatch
|
- March: Historic slides show. Details to be confirmed.
|
- May: Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty: Walk centred on Torrey Hill
|
- June: Heritage Walk led by Peter Bell. We want to identify two distinctive buildings in the Parish for Peter to sleuth and describe to Members. We should be glad of volunteers to have their house included in this walkabout.
|
- July: Pugin trip to Ramsgate - to learn more about the men behind our own Pugin masterpiece - Kingsdown Church.
|
|
There are other events run by the Kent History Federation - noted on the events page [LINK]. Our Society is affiliated, so Members of our Society can take part.
