A small group met to discuss resources, research and our progress.

 A useful session, discussing outside toilets, graveyards, teddy bears, housing history in Bradford and Uncle Ted coming to visit! You needed to be there to understand the meaning!

A small group gathered to share news and ideas, as well as doing a bit of research!

7th June - Coronation Capers - Chris Cade visited us once again, this time in the guise of a policeman, drafted in to control the crowds along the Mall. A thoroughly entertaining and atmospheric performance. 

A select group met to carry out research, pass on tips, help each other with technology, etc. In summary, a typical meeting!

Royal memories and memoribilia, etc.

This was a busy session, with 14-15 members attending, all the laptops being used for research and several questions aired around the group. The 1921 census and the 1939 register were of particular interest, as well as adjusting the brightness on our laptops. A useful morning.

10th May - Tony Saxton - Royal Observer Corps - Tony once again spoke to us in an entertaining way about the work undertaken by the ROC, how their role changed over the years and the legacy of bunkers and equipment still in evidence.

A small (select)! number met to discuss our research and progress made.

1921 census report back - a good number gathered to hear how everyone has been getting on. There were some interesting results. Thanks to Mark for organizing the projector
