Although when I write this it’s only just into Spring I need to tell you about this year’s Summer Reunion which will be held on SUNDAY 30th. JUNE 2019 and the choice of our current President, John Weeds, was that we would visit the BIGGIN HILL MEMORIAL MUSEUM, BIGGIN HILL, KENT TN16 3EJ. John resides in darkest (perhaps not) Kent so we didn’t want it to be too far for him as he’ll be in charge.

Our 2018 day out was during the beautiful hot, sunny summer weather that we experienced and hopefully we’ll be lucky again this year. Provided there are a minimum of 8 the entry cost is only £7.00 – for 16 or more this reduces to £6.50 which is very reasonable. We do have to book and pay in advance which we will deal with so if you wish to join us I do need to know just as soon as possible (payment by cash or cheque can be made to me on the day) and my contact details are at the end of this missive. We intend to meet at 11.30 a.m. – the Museum is on Main Road (the A233) which connects Bromley to Biggin Hill and should be easy to find. It takes approx. 2 hours to go round to site which has 3 areas of interest : Exhibitions, the RAF Chapel and Gardens so that would leave time for some refreshment.

The catering on site appears rather basic but John has found a nearby pub, THE BLACKSMITH’S ARMS in CUDHAM TN14 7QB which is close to the Museum and he will book lunch for those who wish to attend (approx. 2 p.m.). Have a look at their website and you’ll see it appears very pleasant with a good choice of food.

If you think you can come along or have any queries which I will try to resolve my contact details are :-
e-mail : sturt99@ hotmail.com or ‘phone on 01403-261756.
The Museum website is bhmm.org.uk should you wish to check it out.
