History Programme

February 21  Members Meeting.
DATES IN HISTORY –  Would members choose a date in British history, research it and tell what they have found?  They might pick a date we all know such as 1066 (Battle of Hastings); 1952 (Elizabeth ll became Queen); 1854 Crimean War; or those a bit less common such as 1870 (Education Act); 1620 (Pilgrim Fathers sail to America).  There is plenty of history to discover; choose your own favourite date.
