A long-standing and very popular group, Local History continues with the usual mixture of interesting and enjoyable talks, covering topics from the locality of Glastonbury, the county of Somerset, to the South West of England.

Subjects covered in the talks and the style of presentation vary immensely, many being given by outside guest speakers showing a great deal of knowledge in their particular subject, and others (especially welcome) by our own members with a wealth of local knowledge.

Next year our subjects will include Alfred the Great, the Reformation and Dissolution of The Abbey, local industry, life in local villages and a potpourri of other subjects.

NB. Sometimes, although infrequently, an outside speaker charges a fee. In these instances group members are asked to contribute £1 each towards the cost.
