What’s Going On?

As a new service to members we’re introducing this page to keep you up-to-date with what’s going on in your society. For information that might have just missed publication in the Newsletter come here first.

Unless otherwise stated please email the chairman for more information.

Meetings in 2008 ?

Following a recent survey sent to members it has been decided that regular monthly meetings of the society will cease with immediate effect. These are to be replaced in April by Saturday Workshops to enable out-of-town members to attend.

Family History Help Line

We are restarting the FHHL. This will be available from 2pm-4pm UK time. Weekends anytime till 4pm as long as the chairman is around (and she usually is!). Do not ring outside these hours.

More details & phone number from the Chairman

Saturday Workshops

The inaugural Saturday workshops will be on 5th April 2008, commencing at 10:30am and running until 3:30pm. The AGM will be 10am-10:30. Entry will be as all meetings, £1 for members, £2 non-members.

Lesley, Karen and I would love to meet you all. The AGM will take place for members at 10am if you should like to attend. It is pretty central being close to Coventry Bedworth is 10 minutes drive and Nuneaton or Hinckley 20 minutes. Just five minutes walk away is a large Antiques centre which is worth a look. Coventry of course has the Cathedral, Transport Museum (free admission) and lots more.

See here for the full programme.

New CD-ROM

The new CD ROM ‘Warwickshire Compilation’ contains hundred's of pages of data relating to people who resided in this county and just over the border.

The CD has taken over 6 years to compile and material has been taken from Parish Registers, Documents (some available only in private hands), wills, poor law records etc., along with photographs & articles collected for over 20 years.

It contains individual sections on NAMES; PLACES; FAMILIES; MEMORIES all relating to Warwickshire.

The CD will retail at £ 13.99 for members (inclusive of UK postage, overseas please add an extra £1 for postage) and £15.99 for non-members.

Order from 44 Abbotts Lane, Coventry CV1 4AZ, cheques to K. George please.

Coach trip

We run occasional trips to the PRP/TNA. We leave from Antiques Adventure, Rugby Road, Binley Woods with a pick up at Warwick Parkway

Newsletter

We need contributions from Members to enable us to continue production of the magazine. Articles, Adverts, Letters, Help Wanted, Memories (and we all have these) etc.

Please post or email to the Chairman

Members who reside outside Warwickshire/West Midlands

We understand that our many out of area members do not always know of what is going on in the area, what new records are available etc. With this in mind we are starting (initially for a trial 6 months) an 'Away members Bi-monthly Newsletter'. This will be in electronic format and will simply be updates on news etc from the Warwickshire area.

We tend to gather pictures, books and news locally and send to members by post, this way we could let you know what we have and you can then email and let us know is a particular item would be useful to you. Whilst we would not of course include articles as in the regular magazine, members may use the Help Wanted section should they wish to do so.

To obtain this you should register by sending an email to the chairman. Include your name and address and also your membership number (which must be current).

I cannot, at this stage say how large the letter will be, it will most probably depend on what material is available. The first issue was published in July 2006.
