Congratulations to our ex-Satellite Club - KH&V on being granted the "Ongar and Kelevedon Hatch & Villages" [RCOKH&V] Charter and full club status.

It has taken a long campaign, but Michele's perseverance and determination won the day. Mention must be made of others (past & present) who worked hard in the development of the club.
