Attendance at our Molly Coombe Memorial Lecture on October 9th was very good, thanks to all who came and we hope you were entertained and enlightened.
We are now gearing up for our Open Day here at BH, on October 26th at the Community Centre, from 2pm until 4pm. We would like as many people as possible to get involved in our VE Day 75 programme of events next year.
If you are a member of a group that have plans for an event or a piece of celebratory work, please come along and tell us about it. If you have any WWII memorabilia or photographs, or would like to research more about the occupants of your house during the war, please join us. We are concentrating on evacuees to the village and where they were billeted, so if you have any knowledge of that please do come along. Or if you would just like to look at some artefacts, listen to some music and have a cuppa and some cake, we would love to see you. It’s going to be a terrific celebration in May 2020, involving lots of different participant groups in the village, so come along and be part of the plans. All ideas very welcome. See you there!
