2023 Events and Activities

The LAHS committee work hard to create a fun full year to raise awareness and interest in our local heritage. 
WE NEED YOUR HELP .. we NEED more volunteers – please help us.

WINTER TALKS 2022 – 2023: 
A full programme of talks was held between November and April 2023 following the formation of the new committee after the Covid suspension of activities
We are(mostly) in our new home in the Oak Room at Rockfield Centre, on the second Saturday afternoon of each month.

We would love to record these lectures better in the future – is there anyone with the technical knowhow who can help us do better than just pointing a phone at the screen ?
