The History Group always welcomes all U3A members especially new ones. Our indoor meeting place is Central Methodist Church on Baker Street: time 2pm – 4pm ish.
The visit to Ashby de la Zouche town and Museum on June 21st. was just brilliant. Weather super even touching a bit too warm at times; plenty of places with good food to eat, a town market to browse and St. Helen’s Church was really interesting. Did you follow the ‘mouse’ trail and did you try out the finger pillory? Our visit ended with a visit to the museum which was am-a-zing. Usually it closes on Wednesday afternoon but the staff were there to welcome us for a private viewing with ephemera and artefacts brought out of storage specifically for us. What can I say? Just fab-u-lous. Ashby is a town worth visiting. I think we all enjoyed the trip.

Kathy, Sue and I will be having a break during July and August when there are no meetings.
