The stall sells albums in which to put certificates and other memorabilia as well as the acid free inserts.

At each meeting we have a speaker.  Our speakers talk on a wide range of subjects all related to Family History - either directly with subjects such as Censuses or Parish Records or Civil Registration  or indirectly which give a background to the lives and times of our ancestors. 

Our programme will give you more details

Our meetings give our members the opportunity to chat amongst themselves over tea and coffee to people who may have answers to their family history problems and who may be able to help break down some of their brick walls and most of all love to talk to others about their hobby.

Our help desk is the contact point where members can ask questions and be pointed in the right direction to get the answer

At each meeting, after the speaker we have opportunity for coffee and tea and a chat with other members
