About the Rochester Pickwick Club
The Rochester Pickwick club was founded in 1984 to honour Dickens' first novel 'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club', usually referred to as 'The Pickwick Papers'. The club holds affiliate membership of the Dickens Fellowship. Its members are frequently seen at the twice-yearly Dickens Festivals in Rochester as well as other community events both locally and around the UK.
It is a condition of membership that all must be in suitable costume whenever they appear at a public event or sit down to dine. In recent years a ladies section has been formed, and there is now an associate level of membership.
