The Centre holds meetings in Bromley
on Wednesday evenings and in Beckenham on
Thursday afternoons. Most meetings consist of an illustrated lecture on a
topic connected with the National Trust and its fields of interest.
A small admission charge is made to help cover the cost of the hall and speaker.
Visitors are very welcome and the meetings are a good opportunity to find out
more about the Centre.
