October Social Morning 2026

We invite members and visitors alike, to our Social Morning on Saturday 3 October, 10.30am-12.30pm. at the Baptist Church, George Street, Ryde.

The Election of Officers of the Committee for the forthcoming year doesn’t take long, so it will be a good opportunity to meet and chat with other members, and we hope some visitors will come along as well. We will be accepting subscriptions for the renewal of yearly membership fees on the morning.

There will be Refreshments and the usual Raffle in aid of group funds. Following that will be a talk by Richard Smout called: “The Isle of Wight in the 17th Century.”

We look forward to seeing as many people that can make it.
