Local History
Meetings at 2.00pm (for 2.30pm) on the 3rd Friday of each month, in the hall to the rear of the Baptist Church in Homend, Ledbury
Most months we usually have a speaker, with occasional visits to relevant places of interest.
The last meeting of 2017 was a Quiz & Christmas Social. 2019 started with Richard Simkin talking on The Dymock Poets
Future Programme:
Feb 15th - Tim Keyes Ringing the Changes - Bell ringing in English History and Literature
Tim is the Tower Captain of St Michael & All Angels’ parish church and observes that bells have always been an important means of communication within a community and especially in a small town or village. This talk will explore this theme, particularly with reference to literature and to writers themselves.
Mar 15th - Jill Jupp - The Twinning with Stromstad 2000 to the Present Day
Jill and Caroline, the association Chairman, will speak about the Ledbury and Stromstad Twinning Association.
There will not be a meeting on Good Friday.
Members will be contacted in advance by email or telephone, with a reminder of the next meeting.
Although a very large group, there is no limit on numbers and we welcome new members. However, please note that we shall have to refuse entry to the hall once the limit is reached, so please arrive in good time
We look forward to seeing you at the meetings
