Thursday 7th December 2017 – 25 years of Back to the Valley – The night's guests are the one and only Carl Leaburn (doing his first Q & A for many years) with another Charlton Legend Paul Mortimer.
Free entry although we'll try and sell you a raffle ticket to cover costs.
And they've promised to open the upstairs bar this time.
Q & A starts at 8.00 pm but bar open before then.
Everyone welcome, no membership needed.
To remind you that our new venue is the Petts Wood Royal British Legion Club. It has a large upstairs room, is 2 minutes walk from Petts Wood station (on the Queensway side almost next to Morrison’s) and there is street parking.

Both fellas are proper gentlemen and true Charlton folklore legends
Carl is quite an articulate guy and Morts is Morts.
Great story about Carl's acting career, lots of discussion about young players development and academies, the women's team, and lots more.
Interesting how long the friendship from then have endured and how "unique" they both see Charlton as a club.
I wish Morts was asked by KR to do some one off coaching with the first team.
No more planned meetings until 1 March which should be current players but we might try and squeeze in a prostate cancer fundraiser before then.
No wonder that CAFC flourished with these chaps in the side. Proper Charlton.
Would be a good caption competition

Out of interest, is there a lot of work involved in getting guests to these meetings?
We've built up contacts and a good reputation over the years so it is easier than it would be starting from scratch but it is still hard work (he says as the one who does that bit but Bromley Addicks is very much a team effort and it's the big and dedicated committee that make it a success, it's very much not a one man show).
We lost Bernard Wickham (RIP) who knew all the old players and constant changes in contacts at the club don't help but @Tracey is great and make it all much easier.
