It helps to reduce costs if you pay your annual subscription by Bankers Order. If you wish to do this, please also complete that part of the form.
Our members' meetings (apart from the AGM) are held at the Moat House (in the side hall on the ground floor), Baptist Church, Crow Lane, Rochester. Please note, due to the popularity of our meetings, we are only open to members and their guests, where a small charge is made.
