CRAYS MEN’S AFTERNOON CLUB Crays Men’s Afternoon Club continues to enjoy interesting speakers and outings. After an interesting insight from Rob Bourton into how the Met Office tries to predict April showers. Members had a May sports meeting with indoor bowls, darts, snooker and cards.

This meeting was followed in June by a talk from John Blundell, an expert in the History of The Crays, highlighting the active past of St Mary Cray as a market town with many industries based upon the River Cray.

Everyone is looking forward to the forthcoming trip to the Bluebell Railway with cream tea on the train and the walk around Scadbury Park with a pub lunch.

The next meeting is in July, when the club welcome John Solway who is a guide at Chartwell and promises an enthralling insight into Churchill’s home. All older men over 50 from Orpington, The Crays and surrounding areas are welcome to the meetings held on the first Monday of the month (except August) at 2pm at The Temple United Reformed Church, Moffatt Hall.
