EVENTS
End of World War I Exhibition
There will be an Exhibition to commemorate the end of World War I in Goring Village Hall on Saturday November 17 2018. Further details will be posted nearer the time.
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
Sadly the trip to Bradford-on-Avon for a canal boat trip had to be cancelled due to the canal boat being taken out of service because of engine failure.
There will be an outing to Brooklands Museum on Wednesday 17 October. We now envisage going by coach if enough members are interested or, failing that, asking for volunteer drivers. (Public transport is no longer an option because of a knee injury to the organiser.) To download a booking form please click here.outing2.pdf
The Burton-on-Trent Brewery trip has been postponed until next year. It was felt that the trip would be better in the summer months because of the long rail journey back, which would be very tedious in the dark.
Proposed outings for 2019 will be announced early next year.
