THE September meeting listened to a talk given by Bruce Johns called The Dancer and the Drum and told of his exploration of a family, a place and himself. It gave us an unusual view of the research of a family tree.

The speaker at the next meeting on 5 October, will be Max Keen who will give a talk which asks the question - Alfred the Great: was he a fortunate king? Max gives his talks in period costume.

Doors open at 7pm. Refreshments are available. New members and visitors are welcome. Please note: the entrance is via the side carpark in Yates Hay Road. Look out for way pointers.
