Meetings 2025
Many members have been asking for dates of meetings for 2025 in order to manage calendars and ensure that they do not miss any of the meetings. All meetings in 2025 will take place on a Thursday:
23rd October 7:00 pm - Mark Hinman - Archaeological discoveries from Duxford and further afield
20th November 10:00 am - The Templars - Steve Tibble
18th December 7:00 pm - The IWM - Liam Shaw
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:
