Next meeting of the Duxford History Society will be on Thursday 7th November 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Our speaker for the day will be Douglas Kent and he will address us on the subject of The Sun Inn in Saffron Walden. Douglas will relate some of the history of this ancient building and the work that has been carried out towards its restoration.

Meetings 2024

Meetings are fun, we start with updates on what has been achieved during the past month and then we have a speaker to tell us about issues of historical interest to all of us. We have a break in the middle when people can mingle and chat and everyone enjoys it.

It isn’t expensive to join and we will only charge £10 per member for the year from Januiary and at the moment it is free. the outlined dates for 2024 are all in the Duxford Community Centre and are as follows:

• Thursday 7th November 10:00 am

• Tuesday 10th December 7:00 pm

There will be more of this to follow including a list of proposed speakers in the next issue. We are trialling this for the first half year and if you respond well, we will extend it.
