Civic Society Talk tonight....

TonbridgeBlog is looking forward to going down to the Angel Centre tonight for a Closer Look at Old Tonbridge. The Civic Society are hosting a talk by Pat Hopcroft and Anthony Wilson, of Tonbridge Historical Society, who will tell us about what the town used to be like and show us some photographs of Tonbridge which we don't usually get to see. The Hist Soc have written many authoritative books about our dear town down the ages and TBlog hears that they may be planning another one. Go along tonight and you may well find out more. Non members are usually welcomed for a small charge on the night. This will be my first TCS talk of the new season but, since I'm a member, I won't have to fork out. There's free tea or coffee and biccies and some excellent company. The show starts at 8pm with refreshments from 7-30pm. You can see the society's full programme of talks on their web site....

I remember the days when all the street lights in the High Street were working. But since KCC look after them rather than TMBC some are always out. Last night I counted 9 including 3 out of 4 by the Big bridge, a bit dark there. I know many of the light in Tonbridge are a special design but KCC should have a stock of these as its not uncommon for lights to fail.
Where is the KCC councillor for Tonbridge when you need her?, oh yes she lives the other side of Wroham so I doubt whether she shops in the High Street!
I have today made a report on the KCC web site but TB use your influence in the CS to get KCC to fix them.

Anon. You've hit the nail on the head there. Apparently they're the wrong kind of bulbs!
