One further concert – to take place in summer 2023 - in the season of
six will be announced shortly.
The Society’s new chair Katharine O’Carroll said “The Society’s main
aim has always been to bring high quality music and musicians to our
local area, and the concerts we have lined up for the 2022-2023 season
will continue our tradition of achieving that aim. We look forward to
sharing some great music with you.”

All concerts start at 7.30 pm and tickets are £30 each, with free entry for

THEN...AND NOW

This 1930s postcard view of the Godstone Club taken in the height of
winter looks very bleak! Postcard courtesy of Roger Packham
Today, The Club attracts members and non-members, particularly the
Coffee Bar that opened in November 2021, and is now a very popular
meeting place. These days, the Horse Pond is never free from parked cars!
