The Sandgate Society
The Sandgate Society was founded by Mrs Ruby
Estelle Greenwall, J.P., in 1962 in an attempt, though just too late to save
the Royal Kent Hotel, an ancient coaching inn, from demolition (now the site
of the Sir John Moore Court). Founder members included Lola Lachlan, Dennis
Vorley, Frank Norden, Mrs Joan Bennette, Mary Green and Mrs Linda
Rene-Martin.
Current committee members are: Roger
Joyce - Chairman, Jill Partridge - Secretary, Carole Williamson -
Membership, Christian Barret - Advertising, Ron
Lewis - Coastline, John Cutmore - Planning, Penny Visman - Events Programme,
Frank Pyke - Treasurer, Euan Williamson - Vice Chairman and Chairman of
Editorial Committee, Liv Patterson - Saturday Rota & David Everitt. Reg
Turnill is the Society President.
