To catalogue, preserve and research the history of Duxford.
We have managed to persuade the famous actor and ex Duxford resident Christopher Strauli to speak to us about hs memories of his career. I know that many of you know Christopher and he is still a regular visitor to our coffee mornings, but I wonder if you know how extensive his career has been. The name that he has chosen for his talk is “Only when I laugh and act the fool”. Please don’t miss it.
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.
Even if you can't make all of the meetings you can still be a member and share in everything that is going on by tuning in to our website and participating in our WhatsApp group. WhatsApp allows all of our members to share memories and pictures and new discoveries. Just click the link below:
Meetings throughout 2026
