Many thanks to all those who helped and attended our exhibition day. Over 280 people came and enjoyed all the photos and articles on display. Our new book sold very well as did several of the previous editions. We still had more photographs that we have not seen before brought in to be copied.
Next year's open day will be on Saturday 3rd March, 2018 and will be dedicated to all those local men who joined up in the wars and were able to return home. If you have any pictures or stories, please get in touch.
