Celebrating Kent's Geology, Ecology and the inspiration of the landscape  

Please note this event took place on 5th June 2025. For those who missed it, here's some typical feedback...

A quick and final thank you to Helen and all other speakers and musicians for an EXCELLENT day, covering science, history, geopolitics, physical activity and a musical recital!! Couldn't have been better and I would be very keen to attend similar days- and PAY for the privilege- if u3a has members keen and able to organise them. Very well done to all concerned.  Much appreciated and highly recommended.
