Folkestone History Society

We have known about the History Society since its early days as our friend, Charles Whitney, was the first Chairperson back in the mid 80's. Charles was invited to attend this event and so it was a real treat for us to meet again after a time apart.

Humour took a central part of every speech and it was interesting to watch the faces of the attendees who were clearly enjoying themselves. It reminded me just how long I have lived in this area as I was able to recognise the vast majority of the people attending the meal. The first Chairperson presented the current chairperson with a President's Badge of Office which was an incredibly moving moment.
