The Cambridge branch meets, currently on zoom, at 7.30 pm on the second Monday of the month during the academic year September to June. Our chosen text for 2021/22  is ‘Great Expectations’ which will be studied in monthly instalments starting in September and continuing throughout the year. It is hoped we will be able to resume normal meetings, which will take place in Clare Hall, in January 2022. Until then our virtual meetings will continue, complemented by online contributions from members of a Google group. In normal times our meetings include a lecture or presentation on a theme connected with the novel being studied.

The Canterbury Branch was re-founded in 1996 by Dr Frank Fricker with a programme of monthly talks, of a mainly academic nature, and occasional outings. That, with the annual Birthday Lunch, remains the basic pattern. However, before each talk there is a convivial half-hour for refreshments, news and chat, not always strictly Dickensian. The Branch AGM is held at its December meeting, when business is leavened by a Christmas entertainment accompanied by Dickens Tart and Punch. The Canterbury Branch has twice staged the Fellowship's Annual Conference, in 2005 and 2012.
