This was around the time that his interest in things mechanical led him to discover the BHI. Upon joining, he soon signed up for the Correspondence Course in Technical Horology, graduating in 1983. It was due to the exercise on public clocks within this course that led him to discover the Herne Bay Clock Tower. Mike\u2019s interest in public timekeeping has developed from this modest beginning and over the past thirty plus years, he has been a member of the AHS Turret Clock Group, serving as Secretary and then later as Chairman for many years. Mike is currently Honorary Clocks Advisor to the Dioceses\u2019 of Canterbury, Rochester and Chelmsford.<\/p>\n<p>Mike\u2019s interest in history led him to earn both a BA and an MA in the subject from the University of Kent as a mature student. Mike has authored several books on his local area and on public timekeeping, both subjects on which he speaks regularly. Mike is married to Nicola and they have two grown up daughters.<\/p>\n<p>For those who like to do their homework Mike has written excellent articles for the HJ on the Herne Bay Turret Clock and the Margate Time Ball; May 2015 and August 2014 respectively.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1748\" src=\"http:\/\/slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Mike_Bundock.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Mike_Bundock.jpg 616w, http:\/\/slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Mike_Bundock-240x300.jpg 240w\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"283\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Monthly branch meetings are normally held at the The White Hart Barn in Godstone<\/p>\n<p>THE WHITE HART BARN<\/p>\n<p>(Godstone Village Hall)<\/p>\n<p>GODSTONE<\/p>\n<p>SURREY RH9 8DU<\/p>\n<p>7.30 pm for 8.00 pm Start<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0January 4, 2018 The Herne Bay Turret Clock &amp; Margate Time Ball Mike Bundock MBHI For our first meeting of the New Year we welcome Mike Bundock MBHI.
