A message from the Secretary

I hope that I may soon welcome you to the City of Rochester Society.

Should you wish to take an active part in the Society life, you will find plenty of opportunities for becoming involved, but just by being a member of the Society you will benefit the old City.

It helps to reduce costs if you pay your annual subscription by Bankers Order. If you wish to do this, please also complete that part of the form.

Our meetings are normally held on the second Wednesday of the month at 8pm at the Visitor Centre, High Street, Rochester. Please note, due to the popularity of our meetings, we are open to members only, where a small charge is made.
