Dear Readers Don’t forget the Kings Hill Rotary Club Beer Festival on the 15th September at the Spitfire in Kings Hill, 20 different Ales will be available along with live music to make it a fun and relaxing afternoon out. At the same time the Malling District Lions will be holding an Antiques Valuation afternoon at the Kings Hill Community Hall so you can make a real afternoon of it in Kings Hill and help raise some money too. We can’t believe people are already starting to plan their Christmas lunches! We have two restaurants who are ready to take your bookings! Thank you to all our followers on Facebook - please continue to ‘like’ us (and we will ‘like’ you back) and receive updates on what we are doing.
