Our next meeting will take place at the Parish Hall of St Mary & St Alban, Langham Road, Teddington, TW11 9HF on Friday 12 December from 1100 to 1300. The hall in Langham Road is near St Alban’s Church which is also the Landmark Arts Centre, the impressive church at the river end of Teddington High Street near the junction with Kingston Road, Manor Road and Ferry Road. The 281, 285 and R68 buses stop here. Langham Road is off the High Street at this point. The meeting room is the Mina Hogan room on the ground floor which is accessed by the wheelchair ramp on the side of the building. Tea and coffee will be available.
Our group was represented as usual at the annual conference at Kenilworth. A full report will appear in The Pensioner magazine. An unexpected event occurred at the formal dinner when I was presented with a certificate of merit for services to the CSPA.
