Our February meeting was chaired by Joan Fountain, and as the room was very full, we had to fetch extra chairs for our visitors. Our speaker was Christine Humphreys who told us of the Tears and laughter involved in researching your family tree. She illustrated her talk with anecdotes, and gave hints on how to get started on family history and used examples from her own family. Telling us how addictive this research can be, and how surprises await, even if you think you know about your ancestors. We had many questions for Christine over coffee.
Thank you to everyone who supported our Jumble Sale, this helps us to keep solvent, and enables us to support local good causes such as the Dementia cafe.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 13th April when Charlotte Harrison will give us the story of tea and tea tasting.
