Christmas Lunch, November 30th at the Farm Paddock Wood
November 30th at the Hop Farm Paddock Wood.
The bar will be serving from 11am and lunch will be served at 12. During this hour Members will have the opportunity to browse the bookstall and are also invited to bring their own publications along for purchase. Your new Communications Officer and Newsletter Editor look forward to this opportunity to meet KAS members in festive spirit.
The entertainment after the lunch will be a return visit of the marvellous Thomas Clark Quire, performing a new selection of music sung in churches before the introduction of the church organ. This will be followed by a visit to the David Salomons House at Southborough. The house is not normally open to the public so the opportunity of a conducted tour is a privilege. The building itself is a substantial country house but its delights are so numerous a brief outline will have to suffice! They give an insight into aspects of local history not seen on any other site including electricity, photography, motor mechanics, and a private Victorian theatre containing the last organ of its type in the world. The Welte organ has been restored at a cost of £400,000 ~ and we are expecting to hear it played! Full historical details can be found on www.salomons.org.uk or can be sent with the ticket if requested.
