EVENTs
Local and Family History Advice Session
Next date: The date of the next Family History Advice Session will be announced here as soon as it is known.
If you would like to attend the session, please book a slot in advance using the contact form. Janet Hurst will then get in touch with you to make the arrangements.
Interest in the centenary of World War I may also have prompted you to find out what your ancestors did in the conflict. A good deal of military information is now online and we can help you to access it.
On the other hand, if you are interested in any aspect of local history, or the history of your house, then we may also be able to help using the information held in the Society's collections of documents, books and photographs.
VISITS BY THE TRANSPORT HISTORY GROUP
Please note - some dates and locations have changed!
Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is holding the its 50th Anniversary celebration on Monday 26 August (Bank Holiday Monday). For such an important event they are putting in steam as many locomotives as they can. There will be steam train rides, rides on a lengthy miniature railway (great fun because of the attractions they have put en route), a classic car show, other classic vehicles, and of course the Museum, Visitor Centre and Small Relics Museum as well. We shall be going by car, so we shall need to know if you require or can offer a lift. For a flyer, please click here
The visit to Farnborough Air Sciences Museum will be accompanied by a guided tour, and will probably be on a Thursday. (Guided tours are only done on Tuesdays or Thursdays.) As this requires a minimum of 10 people, we need expressions of interest with no commitment, to give us an idea whether enough people would like to go. To express and interest, please email us or use this form.
