November saw our last event for 2024 with the Tuesday evening being the quiet night. Autumn nights, bonfire night and it being the AGM saw numbers pretty low though Wednesday made up for it.
We have previously said that we had identified possible events for 2025 and these would be announced a little later when confirmed but already, we may have to change our plans partly due to outside influences.
We hope to announce the new 2025 events after our next committee meeting (December 3rd) in the January newsletter.
A reminder that membership is now due for 2025 and can be renewed at early events in 2025.
You can also pop your renewal into an envelope at 4 Lutterworth Road, complete with your details.
Membership is still at £10 for the year and will give free entry to all regular events, a monthly newsletter and early notification of special/ticketed events.
Members who have not renewed are always given a 12-month grace period during which they still receive a newsletter each month. After this 12-month period has expired their names are removed from the newsletter data base meaning they will not receive a monthly newsletter. Renewing membership will always ensure you are kept up to date via your monthly newsletter.
The history group is still on the lookout for suitable people to join us on the committee. Alternatively, if you feel you could offer any help without being committed to a committee you are just what we need.
So, if you feel you could be part of the team and get involved in Gilmorton’s fascinating history, we would love to hear from you.
The history group would like to give a special thanks to Pat Payne and Barbara Tivey for unstinted assistance with refreshments over the past year.
We would also like to thank all our members and our occasional visitors for their continued support during 2024. Without your support we would be unable to continue.
And finally, to everyone, we wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
