History
Aim
"The group will seek to expand their knowledge and understanding of history. This will cover world history, British, local, family, biography etc. We will each present a piece to the group once a year so that there is no burden on a few. In this way we will all be learning new aspects of history and by a variety of approaches."
Audrey Standhaft – Founder 2020
Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 3.00pm in members' homes. Sometimes we have hybrid in person and zoom meetings depending on the type of presentation given.
