Sevenoaks Talk: And so to Ted, the history of Teddies and other Bears with Melanie Gibson - Barton

A wide-ranging fun talk of Bear Essentials to appeal to arctophiles and bear lovers.

Be sure to bring your bears along to hear the talk. It adds to the fun and it's amazing what people have in the back of cupboards.

Doors open 10.45am, meeting starts 11am.

There is a large public car park (payment required, 50p for 2 hours, £1 for 3 hours) adjacent to the hall but it can be busy.

No booking, just turn up.

The Society is a registered charity and membership fees and donations are an important part of our income. The Talk is free to members but guests and visitors are asked to make a donation towards hall hire and speaker's fee. There will be a donations box at the venue.

But Society membership only costs £10 a year (£12 joint members) and if you join now (ie after 1 October 2024) your membership lasts until 31 December 2025.
