| '''Tunbridge Wells CHE Group''' was a local group of the [[Campaign for Homosexual Equality]], based in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent. It was founded by [[Ross Burgess]] who had moved to the area and wanted to get to know other gay people locally. It undertook campaigning activities and organised discos and other social events.

| The group came to prominence when CHE applied to Tunbridge Wells Council to hold a concert by the noted pianist and CHE supporter [[Peter Katin]] in aid of CHE funds, and the Council refused to allow the use of the Assembly Rooms for the concert. Following Ross Burgess, the late [[Jim Edgell]], subsequently a member of the CHE National Executive, took over as convenor.

| When CHE decided to separate itself from its local groups, the group was renamed TWIGG (Tunbridge Wells Independent Gay Group).
