History Group


The next meeting is on Wednesday, 6th August at 7.30pm at Irene Bentley's house
when Liam Canavan will talk about The History of Football.



We meet every six weeks or so, usually on a Wednesday evening, at one of our members' houses.
At our meetings one of our number gives a talk on a historical subject of particular interest to him/her for about forty minutes, then we have a discussion about what we have heard.
We currently have fourteen members but new recruits are always welcome. It is not compulsory to give talks so don’t be put off coming by thinking that you will have to perform.

At each meeting we decide on a speaker, 
subject and venue for the following meeting.

Previous meetings:
January    History Quiz
