LOCAL HISTORY GROUP 2022

(1^st Thursday morning monthly)

This group continued to run on zoom for much of the 2020/21 lockdowns until in June 2021 the group met al fresco in Sheringham Park on our garden chairs enjoying coffee and the pleasure of being with others.  We gathered quite a number of zoom members during that time and the popularity of the group has been growing ever since, so much so it is reaching the point to look at the possibility of starting another Local History group for NNu3a. 

In September 2021 we returned to the Lighthouse Church in Sheringham for our meetings until December and we are back at the Lighthouse Church in Sheringham for our first meeting in 2022 on 3^rd February which will be a member-led presentation relating to Buxton in Norfolk.
