AGM and Spring Meeting - Our AGM/Spring meeting will take place on Wednesday, 8 May 2024 in the Victoria Hall at 7.30pm. Our guest speaker, Colonel Paul Bennett, will be giving a talk on

“Alanbrooke and Hartley Wintney - his haven in Hampshire”

Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke (1883-1963) is perhaps the most distinguished person to have lived in Hartley Wintney. He was the Chief of the Imperial General Staff - CIGS - (professional head of the British Army) from December 1941 to June 1946, succeeded by Field Marshal Montgomery. As such he was Churchill’s most senior military adviser for most of the Second World War and is still widely regarded as the greatest CIGS in British history.
