  • Otford Society Annual General Meeting

    19:00 to 21:00

    At this year’s Otford Society AGM, members will have the opportunity to hear about the Society’s planned events and activities for 2026.

    Following the AGM, we are privileged to welcome Richard Knox-Johnston, Chairman of the London Green Belt Council, who will give a talk on the proposed reclassification of parts of the Green Belt as “Grey Belt.” This issue is highly relevant to Otford and the surrounding area, particularly in light of the potential threat posed by large-scale housing developments.

    Everyone is welcome and members are warmly invited to enjoy complimentary glass of wine or soft drink, along with nibbles..

    Actors Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, Clive Dunn, Arnold Ridley et al saw active service in one – or even both – of the world wars. Their experiences, along with those of writers David Croft and Jimmy Perry, helped turn Dad’s Army into an enduring and much-loved TV success. Melody Foreman recounts the real-life stories of those who had ‘seen war and knew war’, showing how the power of laughter could triumph over harrowing events.
