Well, we are back, the Village Centre accommodated us well. It was spacious and airy, and has room to expand, and still feel safe.

Our meeting went well, everyone had been double jabbed which made us more comfortable.

It was interesting to hear what people had done during lockdown and beyond, this included more walking, reading, gardening, more family research, keeping a daily log, and making model trains. All very good, but as we said, we should keep a record in our family history records for future generations to know how we coped with the pandemic in 2020/21.

We discussed the various FH companies, and how each had merits enabling some members to have reached far and wide with their family trees.

Next month’s meeting will be on the 1st October, 1.30 pm at Lydiate Village Centre.

As always, I feel it is important to know what our ancestors were like, as this will make our family history more interesting to future generations.

Our topic is to select a member from your family tree, any age, any period, but then try and find the type of clothes they would have worn for work or leisure. Hats, suits, dresses,shoes, clogs?

What was the fashion of the day, and for their social standing.

If you wish to show pictures, put them on a memory stick, or email them to me and we can show them on the ‘big screen’.

Keep smiling, and see you all soon.
