Prices from £7.00 upwards. Afterwards (and weather permitting) we will stroll along the Thames towpath to Sunbury Lock and back. This is a gentle walk – but there is a longer towpath to explore!

We will then take the short walk to the United Reformed Church Hall in Cavendish Road, New Malden KT3 6DD to enjoy our first Clubmeet of the Autumn.

You can bring along your tablet, smart phone, PC or just yourself to find out how to get the best out of your IT. Paul and Norman will be there to share their knowledge and it should be a very interesting session.

The meeting time for lunch is 1.30 pm. Come and join us at our second Clubmeet on Saturday 28th October.

Thursday 18th January 2018 – Monkey Puzzle (Beefeater) Leatherhead Road, Chessington for lunch at 12 noon, followed by a visit to the Chessington Garden Centre. Pat’s Posts: It was a hot and humid day on Wednesday 5th July when 15 members turned up for lunch at The Tree Restaurant near Boxhill. The prices for the main lunch ranged from about £8.00 to £15.00 but it was cheaper if you ordered from the Children’s menu which was £5.95. I don’t know how much the desserts were, but I imagine they were on the expensive side also. Some of us felt that the pub we had known had been modernised a little too much. After lunch 7 members went on to Boxhill and walked to the viewpoint. It was such a lovely clear day and you could see for miles. There was a real holiday atmosphere up there with people sitting on the grass having picnics, walking their dogs and enjoying themselves. Some of us had a cup of tea and we all agreed that it had been a very enjoyable, happy, sunny afternoon. On Wednesday 26th July, 15 members turned up at the Tattenham Corner Beefeater restaurant for lunch. It was a surprisingly nice place inside and the lunchtime menu for the over 55s was very reasonable. You could have a starter for £2.49 and main meal for £5.00 and sweet for £2.49. Frank and myself chose the sweet and the whole meal was excellent. We will certainly make our way there again. It was nice to see two new members turn up for lunch – Helen and Alan. Hope to see you both in the near future at another venue. After lunch Brenda and I went for a walk on the Downs as did Barbara, Shirley, Helen and Alan. It was very nice but extremely windy. Helen and Alan set off for a proper walk but everyone else contented themselves with a short stroll. It was nice seeing everyone and having a chat. I think we would all agree. On Thursday 10th August and with the sun shining, 13 members arrived at the Marquis of Granby in Esher for lunch. The majority of us had the Carvery, which was very good but some of us thought it was not very hot. We paid £8.95 each for the Carvery which seemed a bit expensive – but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Afterwards about 10 of us went on to Bushy Park. It was lovely in there and we had a walk and saw moorhens, ducks and many parakeets. We finished off with a very welcome cup of tea at the Pheasantry Café. All in all it was a very pleasant afternoon. Brenda’s Blog: Exactly when we needed fine, warm and calm weather, we got it for our boat trip on Tuesday 22nd August. A total of 13 of us met, after negotiating the scaffolding surrounding The King’s Tun pub. Ann, arriving a bit late, had pressed on with her journey in spite of a bus breakdown, determined not to miss the boat. We all enjoyed the Wetherspoon’s fare, reliably hot, promptly served and reasonable prices. Some of us even had an alcoholic drink as we had travelled by bus! By 2.10 pm it was time to find the boat so we set off to look for the river and Turks Pier. I made a diversion to see nearby Canbury Gardens but joined the rest of the party in time to go on board. We had superb views from the upper deck and it was specially interesting for those of us who regularly drive along the main road to see the scenery from the middle of the river. Most of us chose our favourite luxurious riverside home (or boat) if only we had the money! The view of Hampton Court Palace itself was awe inspiring, so many chimneys, and its superb size resonant with history. We could have disembarked there and returned on a later boat, but we all decided to stay on board and enjoy the “green” scenery of Home Park as the boat meandered back to Turks Pier. One of our more interesting fellow passengers was a tourist from Tasmania and I am glad to report that she was absolutely thrilled with English scenery so far! By common consent an excellent day, organised by Chairman Barbara. There is already a demand for a similar trip next year, but in the opposite direction towards Teddington, Twickenham and Richmond. My name is already down! SUNDAY 29th October. The West Middlesex Group of Boundless by CSMA has organised a 3 hour round trip on the river Thames from Maidenhead, starting at 10 am. The boat will leave Maidenhead promenade and head upstream through Boulter’s Lock and the magnificent Cliveden Reach to see the hanging woods at Cliveden. The all inclusive cost is £25.00 which includes a ploughman’s lunch. The closing date for booking is Friday 20th October – but the sooner the better as places are limited!

Certificates of Competency and Watermanship All members, and at the end of any Learn to Row course, all participants must pass the Competency Test before moving past Improver Level.

In Yellow Board conditions only experienced members or improvers with the permission of a committee member are allowed onto the river. Further information on this aspect can be found in the Risk Assessment section: page 6. All members are encouraged to take and pass the Certificate of Watermanship: This will further test their boat handling skills, navigational knowledge and their abilities to conduct an appropriate risk assessment before boating.

  • Chertsey Division
    County of Surrey CHERTSEY DIVISION Register of Electors, 1918 An Alphabetical Index of Naval/Military and/or Absent Voters Surrey History Centre Reference: CC802/27/1 This document contains the names of individuals who were included in the 1918 Electoral Register for the Chertsey Parliamentary Division of Surrey, and who were recorded as being either Naval, Military and/or absent voters. Notes: Not all Naval/Military voters may have been correctly designated “NM” and not all absent voters may have been Naval/Military personnel, in which case their entries are highlighted in orange text. Red text denotes a possible error, or information derived from a different source, such as the 1919 Chertsey Electoral Register. This is particularly the case for the Parish of Bisley (Dii), because parts of the pages for this Parish are missing in the Electoral Register held at the Surrey History Centre. Entry Nos. 547-573, 578-628, 634-660, 794-812 & 825 are affected. Some individuals were killed in action, or otherwise died, in the period between when the Register was compiled and the cessation of hostilities in November 1918. Some voters may appear more than once. This Index is therefore intended only as a guide to further research and no guarantee of accuracy is given.
