A change in our speaker for the next meeting. Malcolm Hyde is otherwise engaged on the morning of the meeting, so we have a new speaker who has kindly stepped in. Instead of the advertised talk on Aircraft That Flew from Duxford, we will have Mary Dicken and Tim Wreghitt from the Sawston Society to tell us Mary Challis and the Challis Trust. Members may remember a wonderful talk we had from Mary on thge history of Sawston Hall.
I'm also going to take the opportunity to tell you more about Suzie the Spitfire Pilot and her book.
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:
