Slingsby Local History Group is meeting tomorrow (February 12th) over a coffee at 10.30am in the Village Hall to look back at some of our archival material and to plan further activities for the coming spring and summer season. £3 per head to cover hire costs etc.
It was great to see everyone back at our Folk Tales and Coffee session in December. The Local History Group aims to restart meetings with a view to a commemorative project on national celebrations in the past, particularly Jubilees. We hope to put together a small exhibition in time for early June when the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is planned to be celebrated. If you have any photographs or other memorabilia from any past celebrations and would be willing to loan them and allow us to photograph them for our Local History Archive please contact David Thornley at the Dower House in Slingsby or by email to [email protected] or on 627210. We are currently working on a list of activities for this year and are hoping that we can also organise some trips out as well. Anyone who wishes to join us and who is not already on our mailing list please email Margaret Mackinder ([email protected]) to receive fuller details shortly.
