A fantastic
site for anyone interested in pubs, or with ancestors who owned or worked in
public houses in Gloucestershire. Lots
of information, anything you want to know and photos as well. A large site, only scratched the
surface.

Is it time
for you to take a major step within the Group? At our next AGM (June 2008) our
President David, will not be seeking re-election. It is also possible that others may also step
down. Although we could probably twist a
few arms to accept positions on the Management Committee, we would prefer to
have members come forward to take on some of these tasks.
They are
not life-threatening or require a seven-days-a-week commitment. We don’t anticipate major changes, but some
new faces would be great, and would also inject some new thinking into the
management of the Club. There is plenty
of expertise within the Group to assist anyone who would be interested in any
of the management or non-management positions.
The Club
can only function with a good team at the helm.
Apart from Management, this also means the volunteers who come in to
help whenever the Club is open. From
experience, this means that you will probably get a lot of your own research
done, but will also broaden your own knowledge of family history research. Until you feel confident enough, you would
never be left alone. You don’t need to
be an expert, just a keen amateur.
Please give
a little thought about how you may be able to help. This doesn’t only mean ‘older’ members, but
also those who are relatively ‘new’.
There are members who have “been there, done that” who would be only too
happy to talk to you about the Group, the future, and how you may be able to
assist.
When we
compare ourselves with other Societies, we are very fortunate to have the
facilities and back-up that we have now.
This has come with the dedication of relatively few members who have the
interests of the Club at heart.
We are not
on ‘bended knee’ but would like you to give some serious thought about the
Group’s future and how you may fit in.
GUEST SPEAKER – Saturday 19th April at 1 pm – Glenys
