Christmas Party


In December the Wargrave Local History Society had our traditional party. Tony Barker had arranged a quiz, with photographs of various 'front doors with flowers' taken in Church Street and Ferry Lane, Wargrave during the summer, for members to identify by name and location. The winners were Richard Lloyd and Helen Perry. This was followed by a slide show prepared by Geoff Briggs on the Village Festival of 1987. With a commentary by his wife Pam, and very effective background music, members enjoyed seeing many of the events and people of 20 years ago. We were then treated to refreshments of mulled wine and home made pies provided by Wendy Smith.

The next meeting is on Tuesday, January 8th David Embling will speak about the History of English Furniture, and then on Tuesday, February 12th, Joan Dils will tell us of life in Victorian Earley. All are welcome to our meetings, which begin at 8 pm - normally in the Hannen Room, Mill Green.
