The Club have made four excursions during the past year. The 

 first of these was made on Whit-Monday, May 14th, when about 40 

 members and friends (including one or two ladies) started from East 

 Croydon Station for Three Bridges. The party then, under the 

 guidance of Mr. W. Topley, visited the Saxon Church at the village 

 of Worth, where they were very kindly received by the Rector. 

 Leaving the church the excursionists proceeded through Worth 

 Forest, past the sites of the old iron furnaces at Cinder Banks, to 

 the summit of Balcombe Tunnel, returning through Tilgate Forest 

 to Three Bridges, having walked a distance of about 10 miles. 

 The weather was fine, and a very enjoyable day was spent by 

 everyone. 



The second excursion was on Saturday, July the 7th, when 

 between 40 and 50 members and friends visited the Fisheries 

 Exhibition, under the guidance of Mr. Henry Lee, one of the Vice- 

 Presidents of this Club, who was a member of the Exhibition Com- 

 mittee. Although, in consequence of its being a Saturday, the 

 Exhibition was rather crowded, Mr. Lee was able to show and to 

 explain to the visitors all the principal objects of interest. 



The third excursion was held on the August Bank Holiday, when 

 17 mecnbers of the Club met at the East Croydon Station at 10 a.m. 

 and proceeded to Gomshall by train, walking thence to the village 

 of Shere, where the first halt was made to inspect the church, which 

 contained some interesting brasses. Leave having been kindly 

 given by the Duke of Northumberland, the party next visited 

 Albury Park, and spent a considerable time in viewing the beauti- 

 fully laid-out pleasure grounds, glass houses, the cave, and the 

 celebrated yew hedge. The small church, romantically situated in 

 the Park, attracted much attention, being the oldest church in 

 Surrey. It is partly in ruins, but one portion, restored to serve the 

 purpose of a mortuary chapel, is ablaze with heraWic designs and 

 stained glass. Much regret was felt that time did not permit of a 

 longer stay at Albury. After a short halt at the " Silent Pool " the 

 excursionists wended their way through the cornfields, busy with 

 reapers, to St. Martha's Chapel, which was carefully inspected 

 inside and outside. The chapel stands 500 feet above the level of 

 the sea, and the day being tolerably clear views were obtained 

 extending to the South Downs. Mr. Low Sarjeant, who had suc- 

 ceeded in getting good photographs of Shere Church and village, 

 took a picture of St. Martha's, and the view from the south door.
