November 2024 – Members’ Meeting
Our annual social evening again saw a lively get-together with members sharing
stories and the results of their research with everyone, accompanied by drinks and
nibbles. We were delighted to hear family history from Pauline, Bridget, Chris, Peter,
Robert, Robin, Tina, Susan and Susanah.
January 2025
Our own Bridget HUNTER (SMITH) gave a talk about her experience of being a JP. It
was a most entertaining and enjoyable talk full of anecdotes. Some tales were
heartbreaking with the situations that result in people ending up in front of the bench.
But there were some light-hearted moments, too.
It was an excellent presentation informing us of what being a magistrate involves.
Not only did we learn about the joys (and trials and tribulations) encountered when
becoming a JP, but it was an ideal example of stories that can be part of your family
history, and you can pass on.
