Hi All,
I received this today in an email and am passing the information onto everyone.

People will be able to meet the RTFHS team at a free event organised by local historian Ted Rudge, that celebrates the Black Patch Romany community in Smethwick, Birmingham.

It is on Sunday 26th July 2015 from 11am until 4pm at the Soho Foundry Tavern, Foundry Lane, Smethwick B66 2LL. The RTFHS team will be selling their publications and will be pleased to answer your family history questions.

As part of the days activities, a new memorial to the Black Patch community will be unveiled in Black Patch Park, next to the Tavern, to mark the Romanies important place in the history of this part of Birmingham.
