IHS The history group will hold it's next meeting on February 28th at
the Inkpen playing field pavilion at 7:30 pm. All comers are very
welcome, do come and join us. There's plenty of parking space and
there will be refreshments during the meeting. To help us cover the
cost of the hire of the pavilion etc. we ask for a donation of £3
per person on entry. It's well worth it.
At the meeting there will be a presentation about newspaper clips
from the last couple of hundred years and the amazing stories behind
the clips. The presentation will be given by Stephen Smallbone, and
it's going to be a great night out so come and join us.
Also, we have just launched our new website in beta form at history.inkpenvillage.co.uk. Please take a
look and let us know what you think. This new version is the result
of residents input during the early part of 2024 - I hope you like
it and find it easy to use.
