There will be a meeting of the Family and Communtiy Historical Research
Society at the Leathern Bottel Pub Wednesbury on Saturday 30th Jan @ 2.30pm
(the bars will be open!).
This is a meeting of the West Midlands Regional Network and covers the areas
of Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire
and the West Midlands. To save space in the NG we have a web-page at :-
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/7433
which gives details of what we're about. (actually up to a point, it's not
as academic as it sounds)
The main topic of this meeting is the 'Histories for the Millennium' project
full details of which will be given out at the meeting. It will give a
chance for 'ordinary' people such as ourselves to get a piece of work
published on what will be a momentous occasion.
The membership at the moment is made up of individual researchers into all
types of Family, Local and Community History, some professional but the
majority amateur and advice is freely given amongst all.
We produce newsletters, ie the current one is 'pubs and drinking habits' and
generally have a laugh. New members arrive at every meeting so don't be
afraid that you would be gate-crashing a closed club! That we certainly
ain't, we like our Guinness too much.
As it stands, the male to female ratio is around 50/50 so ladies wanting to
come alone would certainly not feel uncomfortable.
If you would like to come along and know where the venue is, just turn up.
If you don't know the place just contact me and I'll give you detailed
instructions (BTW it's just at the side of M6 J9)

Hope some of you can make it.

Dave (Co-ordinater for the West Midlands Region)
