RICHARD Churchley gave an interesting talk this month on Surnames, their history and meanings.

Members present were given the derivation of their own surnames and many other facts about names including how to find their meanings.

The Annual General Meeting will be held on July 1 at 7.30pm and this will be followed by an update on the Society’s new award-winning website given by the webmaster, Catherine Banks.
