History Society

[Maggie/915]

The meetings are held in the Bedlington Christian Fellowship Church on the last Monday of the Month Sept To May (except Dec) at 7:30!

Our forum Meetings seem to clash

28th Oct

24th March

These meetings start at 6:30

Slight conflict of interest, maybe no one would want to go to both.

Maggie,

 

You seen the THI event in announcements?  

[Maggie/915]

Yep

[Maggie/915]

The THI event was very good !

The History Society explained about Canon Whitley being a 'Senior Wrangler'

There is a plaque in his memory in the church near the high altar.

It seems he was a friend to Charles Darwin and William Wordsworth

Put them on the town calendar - it's easy, and help is always available (just PM Malc )!

BTW I've seen the future of the calendar (spanking new software in test), but my lips are sealed!

[Maggie/915]

The slip /up is the 24th is not the last day of the month!

The History Society is to still go ahead with the 24th !

So still a clash, with the Forum meeting.

The Raws Housing the NE Miners in the 19th Century.

Maggie - Ok if I post the old programmes, and the current one, on the Bedlington FB sites? Might get some interest for the society.

[Maggie/915]

Sure Eggy go for it.

Just wipe my writing on the old programme.
