The Society was founded on 14 January 1966 and in normal times we would be celebrating our 56th birthday! As 2022 dawns, we are learning to cope with Omicron but as vast swathes of the population have received three vaccinations we look forward to a more normal life returning. We hope to hold our Annual General Meeting and Spring Meeting on Wednesday, 11 May at the Victoria Hall. Please add the date to your diary and more information will follow in due course.

We are most grateful to Steve Young for undertaking an extensive redevelopment of the Society’s website and we hope you enjoy the additional information now available to our members on many aspects of life in the village.
