Grenadier Guards Association - Kent Branch

Branch Meeting
2026-09-06 11:15 - 12:00 (Europe/London) | Hythe Sports & Social Club, 2 St Leonards Road, Hythe, Kent, CT21 6EN, United Kingdom
Scheduled date of our bi-monthly Branch meeting.
Please note the 1115 hrs start time.
This meeting is being held one week earlier that our usual 3rd Sunday of a meeting month. This enables us to deconflict with the weekend and date surrounding our 2026 Annual Dinner.
In addition to physical attendance, the Hon. Secretary will organise a Microsoft Teams meeting for members, plus any Branch widows and Friends of the Branch who would like to attend it. Please contact the Hon. Secretary (info@kentgrenadiers.co.uk) if you are in one of those categories and wish to receive a Microsoft Teams invite.
Members are requested to notify the Hon. Secretary if they cannot attend physically or via Microsoft Teams.
An after-meeting Sunday luncheon and raffle will also be organised and held at a venue nearby. Profits from the after-luncheon raffle will be donated to charity.
