Upcoming Events
Our Talk Programme for 2024-25 is now over and here is what is planned so far for 25-26
On Tuesday 9th September 2025 we had our AGM followed by an illustrated historical guide down the A24 from Leatherhead to Dorking
We had our Annual New Years Day Walk (1st January 2026) and a huge success it was. Over 60 people, young and old and several dogs, met at the Village Hall car park for a 10.30 start and set off down Westcott Street, over the bridge and up Hole Hill to Landbarn Farm. From there we took the Coach Road for a bit and then dropped down to the railway line, over the crossing and up through the copse, to arrive at Springfield House, courtesy of Kevin and Rosa Foo. There the team had hot mulled wine and mince pies to welcome all those who had made the sometimes tricky terrain! Throughout the walk Chris Dale and Jeff Davies supplied lots of interesting historical facts and figures
A Talk at St Johns on Tuesday 10th March – speaker and topic yet to be arranged
