History - General
This group meets on the third Thursday of every month at 1.30 pm at the Friends’ Meeting House in Kings Heath. We currently have 22 members, but as we all enjoy time away as well usually about 16 people come to a meeting and we will happily welcome more to the group. We ask members to pay £3.00 per session to cover costs of room hire and refreshments.
Each December the group agrees theme/s for the following year. Although we work to a general theme, we try to make each session a ‘stand-alone’ so if someone has missed a session they are not disadvantaged in future sessions. Various members contribute to presenting a topic, but none are obliged to do so; it is entirely voluntary. Some use PowerPoint, some read from a script – we’re happy with whatever people feel comfortable with!
In 2023 we are looking at Empires. We can't cover them all so members present on one, or an aspect of one which has fired their imagination. We aim to make each session stand alone, so if you miss one there's no problem catching up for the next.
