Our History The Branch was formed in 1983 and met every month until the end of 2011. Over the years we enjoyed many holiday trips both in the UK and abroad in our fine spirit of lasting comradeship. Membership was over 100 at one time, but faded of course over the years. We had our own Branch standard which we proudly paraded on formal occasions. It was laid up in Canterbury Cathedral. See photo. |

Farewell ACA The time has come – we knew it would, To close the ACA The comradeship we have enjoyed Brought good friends on the way. Their memories - so like our own Now matter very much We must not let these memories die So we must keep in touch. A pub lunch twice in every month Will circulate the news Of anything we need to know You’ll find we will not lose. So there’s no need for sad goodbyes And secret farewell tears So long as we can play it right It will endure for years.

On the second Tuesday we will meet at “The Hop Pole” which is on the B2015 at Nettlestead Green. On the fourth Wednesday we will meet at “The Bull“ which is on the B2010 at East Farleigh. Summer events are also planned including Janet’s garden parties and river trips on the Medway. Details of these will be available from the contacts ( see left).
