What's new? (As at 2 March 2010)
The Society now has its own offices
From 4 January 2010 we now have our own offices at the Chislehurst Methodist Church in Prince Imperial Road. Regular access is restricted to members of our Executive Committee, but we are planning to have open sessions where members are able to consult with members of the Committee. The Church (and the Manse) has changed since this photographs was taken, but you can see our offices at the rear of the church - the upstairs room.
