MEETINGS:

Following group discussion it has been decided that hiring the Hall at St Peter's Church is no longer financially viable. Numbers have decreased considerably, mainly due to members' investigations being complete.

It has been agreed, however, that we would like to continue to meet, socially, as a group and will be meeting up at THE WHITE HART, BRAINTREE.

FUTURE MEETINGS: From OCTOBER 9th, we shall be meeting at the above venue for chatting and maybe some history talk, from 2.30 pm - around 4.30 pm. Then, subsequently each 2nd Monday in the month, unless otherwise advised on here.
