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.
There are refreshments and a raffle each month, and plants are often available for sale.
Further details from the branch secretary Les Hewitt.
