The club draws its members from the ancient market town of Faversham located on the North Kent coast in England, to the west of Canterbury and on the main route from London to Canterbury and the Channel ports to the Continent.
Our weekly meetings are held on Monday evenings at Faversham Golf Club, a few miles outside Faversham in the heart of the picturesque countryside of Kent, the 'Garden of England'.

Club Meeting 8th March 2010
By: Earle SmithAngela Stodart spoke to the club about a project her daughter had set up in a rural area of India. She described the numerous dificulties children and people in these sorts of areas encounter. These include lack of sanitation, medical care and for the children especially, education. To facilitate the project a trust has been set up called Suchana which aims to address many of the childrens needs. At present an education resource centre and clinic is being built and five laptop computers have so far been donated. This is an ongoing project and Angela said she would keep us informed of progress.
