About the Association
Sidcup & District Caledonian Association was founded in 1951
with the following aims:
"To promote social and friendly
intercourse among those connected with Scotland and resident within
Sidcup and District and to encourage and promote the study and
preservation of language, literature, history, folklore, music and
traditions of Scotland."
During the early years, Dancing,
Badminton, Table Tennis and Drama were all practised but apart from
the occasional day trips and short breaks organised by our Social
Secretary, our only activity these days is Scottish Country Dancing.
