We are always keen to support community and other Societies events, if and where invited. They could be requested by members of the Society and / or general members of the community. Please let us know and we will try to support the planned activity, if and where possible.
On the third Thursday of the month we have an ‘Open Morning’, where anyone is welcome to come and look at our archives. We have over 5 thousand photographs, some very old, and some fairly new. Some old maps, documents etc.
