This year’s meeting of the Jeff Hawke club will be held in Bosham ( pronounced Bozzum) in west Sussex. Bosham is a strikingly beautiful village with its own natural harbour which abuts onto that of Chichester, a mere two miles to the east. It has a rich history with connections to the Danish king Cnut (1016 – 1035) and its ancient parish church is believed to hold the remains of his daughter Gunhilda.

It also has many earlier Roman and Saxon connections and is very near to the extensively excavated pa

lace of Fishbourne, dating from the time of the Roman invasion of 43CE. The museum there is certainly worth a visit – though it is to be hoped that none of the excavated pottery has “Made in Birmingham” stamped underneath it!

We are also organizing a club trip to nearby Tangmere air museum on 24^th so there will be plenty to see and do.

As in other years we will have a club dinner on both `Friday and Saturday night at venues chosen by our editor who has an uncanny ability to pick out superb restuarants !

Club members are all welcome and if you would like to meet Sydney and William ( our club editor)   along with other members, then join us from 23^rd to 25^th September .As in previous years, you will have to make your own accommodation arrangements , but we look forward to seeing you there.
