Fellowship

Chatham Dockyard Historical Society is a registered charity (No 287263) and as such is not permitted to undertake social events etc. but members are invited to belong to the CDHS Fellowship.   The Fellowship is a separate association of members alongside the CDHS and has its own Committee who organise social gatherings such as quizzes, suppers, talks and historic film shows of Naval and Dockyard interest, often followed by refreshments.

The annual fee for the CDHS fellowship is £2.50 which is due in January each year. (NOTE: Fellowship membership is conditional upon concurrent CDHS membership.)
