History and Discussion Group

Convener: Jo Fitch

Venue: As listed below

HISTORY and DISCUSSION

Our meetings on the social history of the First World War have been well attended and much interest has been shown. I, personally, particularly enjoyed the January meeting when  so many people presented photos, memorabilia and stories of their own family members from World War One. The range of items and recollections was amazing.

For our next three meetings we are now moving into the aftermath of that war and what followed.

As a reminder we meet on the 4^th Thursday of each month.

Thursday 28^th April

Tom Garside will give a presentation on the “Social Consequences of W.W.1” Venue Jo & John Fitch’s Brinksole House.

Thursday 26^th May

Tom Garside and John Fitch will continue with looking at the aftermath of the war and will widen it further. If there is time I shall follow with a brief look at the 1930s.

Venue Jo & John Fitch’s Brinksole House.

Thursday 23^rd June

On this occasion we shall have something from a different perspective though still looking at the Interwar Years. Tony Errington will talk about the Development of Radio and Television between the wars and Tony Dickerson will speak about developments in Science and Technology during this time.

Venue: The Fisher's, West Chiltington

This will be followed by a discussion on our future programme.
