Founded in 1965 the society has flourished and membership in 2006 numbered nearly 600. Many members are, of course, living in the catchment area of SE9 but others have moved to areas in the United Kingdom and abroad. We have town namesakes in Australia and New Zealand.
The society has an Executive Council of 17 members each contributing their own specialities. There are three sub committees, Amenity, Social and Publications - all advancing the aims of the society.
