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 most traumatic year in English history was what Mike Kelly was telling us about on May 17th. Of course history was written by the Normans who were victorious and apparently bent the facts to fit their story including ethnic cleansing of the Saxon/Viking people especially those living in the north.
Kathy and Sue will be at the main meeting on June 14th to take bookings for our visit to Ashby de la Zouch town and Museum on June 21st.
Kathy Sue and I will be having a break during July and August when there are no meetings. The three of us will look forward to seeing members on 20th September when Robert Mee will be with us with an illustrated talk about Nottinghamshire Castles – Eleven sites and more besides. How many do you know of?
