Proposed New Group – Commonwealth War Graves in South East England
A member would like to start up a new group researching the lives of servicemen who served in World War II and whose graves are maintained locally in Cemeteries overseen by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Group Members would each choose an individual serviceman and research both his life and war records and, where possible contact his family and obtain oral histories. The results would be shared with the family, the War Graves Commission, website entries and, if possible, by members giving talks to local schools. There would probably also be some local field trips to the cemeteries.
As the April monthly meetings has had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, if you would like to join this group, please contact the Interest Groups Co-Ordinator via the bluebird system. Once 6 members have shown interest you will be contacted to arrange a meeting to set up the group.

Members have requested several new and exciting groups to be formed as follows:

• Crime and Forensics
• Climate change
• Basic Arithmetic
• Country Dancing
• Geology/Landscape studies

If you would like to join any of the above groups, please contact the Interest Groups Co-ordinator via the bluebird system. If anyone would like to run another type of dance group, sound equipment is available for your use.
