No Code Website BuilderWednesday 15 October - Outing - Kent Battle of Britain Museum, at Hawkinge and Ramsgate - Cost is £25 per head - Departure 8.30am from Husseywell Crescent - If you wish to go on this Outing please contact David Smith now on 020 8462 6799 or 07762 708549, or sign up at the October meeting. The Museum is on the site of RAF Hawkinge which served as a crucial front-line fighter station and a forward refuelling base for RAF Fighter Command, allowing squadrons to maximize operational range and time. It claims to have the largest selection of Battle of Britain memorabilia with artefacts from our 700 crashed aircraft on display. Exhibits are displayed in two hangars as well as in the grounds and in a separate Operations Block. Later, we will relocate to the seaside town of Ramsgate which boasts Regency and Georgian architecture as well as a sandy beach and the biggest Wetherspoons in the country! It has a Harbour (with Royal status granted in 1820) and an extensive network of tunnels.
Wednesday 29 October - Walk – Hayes and Keston area
Meet at the Rosary Church car park; depart at 9.30am for a less strenuous walk than usual around the Hayes, Keston Common, and Caesar’s Well areas and then return to the Rosary car park. Lunch will be at the “The Greyhound” in Commonside, Keston.
We are greatly indebted to Keith Dixon who has stepped forward to act as Walk Leader so this month’s walk can go ahead. Keith is on 020 8462 7903 if you need further information.
Thank you Keith.
