Zoochatters will probably have seen on another thread the news about the impending closure of the RSCC (Sandwich).
Though our society is naturally saddened by this news, we were informed in advance of the public announcement and assured that our meeting in early October can still go ahead as planned.

Thanks for confirming Mike. Not sure if I've emailed already but if not please mark me down as interested - I'll email again to be safe!

Just in case anyone's not aware, you can no longer pay for the Dartford crossing at toll booths.
It has to be paid, over the internet or by phone, in advance or short arrears (by midnight the day after you cross) otherwise a significant penalty notice might be on the doorstep by the time you get back from Kent.
You've been warned. Anyone particularly grateful can buy me a drink at the event
