The Channel branch was established in 2003 to serve the area of Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh. We meet monthly and have a varied programme, with speakers and other organised activities, including walks, days out, theatre trips and coach holidays. Members pay £2.50 per session, which includes tea/coffee and cake. There is also an optional raffle. We also meet informally for coffee at a local hotel, on the 3rd Tuesday of the month.
