Possible threat to Exhibition Venue

Tonbridge and Malling Council (TMBC) are reviewing the funding and future on the Angel Centre where we hold our exhibitions. The centre is in need of refurbishment for a variety of reasons and this will potentially affect were we can hold them in future years though it will NOT effect the 2026 one. You can find more details on the TMBC website.

Subscription cost increase

Following this years AGM subscriptions will be increasing to £72 a year from April 2026. We have held them @ £60 for several years but with increasing costs such as rent etc we feel we have no choice. There are now multiple ways to pay. Please speak to the treasurer or one of the committee if you need more details
