Great news, not only is the meeting going ahead but the cost per person is reduced to £7 and we have details of the two short talks in the afternoon.

We are really lucky to have Tony Gibney from the Nottingham Building Society coming to talk about their founder Samuel Fox of Nottingham (1781-1868).
Our Chair, Oliver Pickering and his wife Janet, will tell us about John Edward Ellis of Hucknall (1841-1910) and his daughters.
