WEA Herne Bay Branch organised a guided walk along the seafront on Saturday 20th June to mark Adult Learners’ Week 2015. Free and open to all, the walk was an opportunity to learn more about historic buildings and places of interest, and to introduce the WEA to new participants and members of the public. It was led by Ken Hando, an ex-councillor and long time resident of Herne Bay with a special interest in local history.
