Here we are at that time of year again when we restart our series of meetings for the season. Our season starts in October with 11 meetings to come. As usual, the Society will continue to meet on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at our venue Sidcup Sports Club in Sydney Road (Crescent Farm, Sydney Road, Sidcup, DA14 6RA).
Our first meeting of the season is this Tuesday, 13th October at 7:30pm. The presentation will be “Shipwrecked on passage to the Falklands on 24th December” by ex. Captain Brian Biggs
Please arrive reasonably early because being the first meeting of the year many of you will be wishing to pay your subscriptions.
One more thing - we think that our membership fee of £25 represents excellent value compared to what that sum now buys elsewhere. Members pay no more for all11 meetings. For those who prefer a single visit, our guest fee is £5.
At our first meeting we hold our EGM at the start of proceedings. Normally lasting less than 10 minutes is to formally receive the accounts for the year to 30th June - our formal end of year.
Please note our website has a lot of information including our programme for the season. www.sidcuplit.org.uk
