We are a voluntary, non-profit making, friendly organisation for the retired or semi-retired over 50’s. We are one of a number of similar organisations located in the towns and villages throughout Kent which together form KentARA. Our objective is to create an environment in which we can keep active in mind and body.

We meet on most Friday afternoons from 1-30pm until 4-00pm and the second and third Wednesdays of the month between 10-00am and 12-30am at Higham Memorial Hall, School Lane, Higham, Kent.
(Click here for a location map.)

Our annual membership fee is £7.

Admission to all our meetings is 50p for members, £1-00 Waiting List and £1-50 for guests.

 
Currently, we have a waiting list for membership but ‘Guests’ are always welcome. If you would like to find out more about us, contact us at higham.hiara@yahoo.co.uk or better still, just drop in one Friday afternoon and see for yourself.
