Before making a decision we would like to know what you think about it. Also, do you have any suggestions what it could do? Would you like to join the group? We would like to hear from you.

To give you a chance to hear about our ideas and to contribute your own, the President and Hon. General Secretary will be present to talk to you on the following occasions:
(a) in the Society’s library at Maidstone Museum, St Faith’s Street, Maidstone
or (b) before the Christmas lunch at Wye College on Saturday 26 November at 11 am.

There is no need to book - just turn up and have your say. Needless to say, either of them would be pleased to speak to you about this at other times.
If you are interested, want more information, or have ideas to contribute, please come to one of these meetings or contact Andrew Moffat, Hon. General Secretary at Three Elms, Woodlands Lane, Shorne, Gravesend, DA12 3HH; email secretary@kentarchaeology.org.uk; or telephone 01474 822280.
