Appointment of Lectures Secretary
Mr. Don Coast has volunteered to organize a program of lectures on various topics and at various venues in Kent for members and friends of the KAS. He writes:
'Our President has long expressed a wish to have a series of lectures promoted by the Society. My recent appointment by Council as Lectures Secretary is one small step in its fruition. From September onwards, it is proposed to arrange a series of monthly lectures in chosen venues with a carefully selected list of speakers. Meetings will be held on Saturday afternoons, probably starting at 2:30 - 3 pm and ending, whenever possible, with simple refreshments. A charge of £1.50 to £2 will be made with a reduction for KAS members and children.
Attendance will not be restricted to KAS members and it is hoped that friends will be invited as well as members of local historical, archaeological, civic, and community societies. Local members can help by publicizing the events and posters will also be deployed. Full details of venues, speakers, etc. are set out in the enclosed leaflet with an application form for tickets. I should nevertheless welcome suggestions for alternative venues, speakers, and subjects for future talks.'
