New members of the Committee - Lis Heriz-Smith stood down, Mary Fielding has joined the Committee to take over as Secretary from Amanda Strevens who remains a Committee Member.

Winter beckons so our events are moving indoors.

• 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.  Your confirmation slips need to be with Amanda Strevens by Wednesday 14th.

• NEW: 1st February 2006: Fruit growing in Kent with a speaker from Brogdale. This will be held at the Greenstreet Methodist Hall - just up Lynsted Lane from the A2.

• March: Ancient Farm Buildings

• 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.

• 1st July: Pugin trip to Ramsgate - to learn more about the men behind our own Pugin masterpiece - Kingsdown Church. We are pleased that the Society can again benefit from the vintage double-decker bus cared for and driven by David Powell

There are other events run by the Kent History Federation - noted on the events page.  Our Society is affiliated, so Members of our Society can take part.

• Search the Website - Finding your way around the website should be easier now with its new search engine - let us know what you think.
• WIth so much being said about global warming, the threat of a cold winter, we have added a few pages and links to resources about energy conservation and woodburning.  If you have other ideas on the topic please let us know so we can share those thoughts.
