History Group

Our April meeting was a visit to the National Memorial Arboretum by Vallences Coach. Vallences give us an excellent service, from the earlier booking point of view, and the journey.  The drivers are always polite, helpful and on this journey we were treated to some music I think we all enjoyed.  

The Arboretum is always worth another visit.  This time as well as the train with the wonderful guided tour and commentary – talks were offered such as ‘Shot at Dawn’ explaining why this happened.  

At the next ‘Main Meeting’ at John Godber Centre we will be taking names and money (bring your cards if possible) for the next visit on 17th June to Matlock Bath and Masson Mill Museum. 

Our next indoor meeting at Central Methodist Church which will begin at 2pm is on 20th May.  It is a talk from David Speed who will tell us all about ‘Beauvale Priory – Between Two Worlds’.

 Bye for now,  Maureen
