Leader Dorothy Shaw. Note Pam Zuntz is current contact

We explore the highways and byways of History - ancient and modern - in a convivial manner, covering any topic, place or person from history that inspires one of our group to give a talk.

We have delved into many areas of history suggested by members of our group and are open to suggestions for any historical topic.

We meet at Bradbury House at 10 am on the first Friday of every month.

Our subs are £2 per session, provisionally

New members and new ideas are welcome.
