Dartford Branch BCSS
Welcome to the Home Page of the Dartford Branch of the British Cactus and Succulent Society.
Branch meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month at 7.30pm at Christchurch Hall, Christchurch Road, Dartford, UK. Friends and visitors from other branches are always welcome. Indeed, we are very grateful for support from members of other branches of Zones 14 and 15, many of whom often attend our meetings.
The meeting fee of £2.50 per month (or £22.50 for the year, payable in February) includes the event, a raffle ticket and refreshments. There are often plants available for sale.
Further details from the branch secretary Les Hewitt.
