Some Thoughts and Plans for 2022

Sun Jester have been booked to deliver out talk "Victorian Street Life: A Poor Existence" at the Really Useful Family History Show in November. Due to Covid it will be an online event and details are on their website https://www.fhf-reallyuseful.com/

We are delighted to be a part of Mirthy's inaugural Festival of Belonging 2021, a series of events, workshops, meetups and talks for Loneliness Awareness Week. Bronwen will be leading a singing workshop on Friday 8th June, starting at 3pm. Come and join in a singalong workshop, aimed to get you smiling. After a vocal warm up, we will feature some familiar songs to sing along to. Bronwen will teach simple harmonies for those who wish to learn them and, as you will be muted, no-one else will hear if you feel shy! Now recognised as having numerous health benefits, singing can relieve stress, help improve lung function, enhance your mood and, as a shared experience, develop a sense of connection with others. Join us for a fun afternoon! There is no charge for the workshop, but attendees are asked to make a donation to the fantastic Bristol-based charity 'Marmalade Trust'. Full details of how to book your place are on the Mirthy website https://www.mirthy.co.uk/festival-of-belonging/

Mirthy are hosting our "Tales from the Elizabethan Underworld" as part of their programme of free talks on Thursday afternoons. To register for free and book your place just visit https://mirthy.co.uk

Archaeology is Rubbish! Or is it? Most people think of archaeologists, kneeling in holes in the ground, painstakingly uncovering the past with brushes and trowels. Although the objects they uncover are hugely important, archaeology has also embraced exciting new technologies to revolutionise our understanding of the past. This talk looks at how some of these new methods have been used to revitalise the story of our ancestors. This is a fundraising event for Leominster Museum at 7:30 27th April 2021 on Zoom. To register please contact treasurer@leominstermuseum.org.uk

Pop over to YouTube and have a look at extracts from "The Bob and Dot Show: The Fabulous Fifties" "Tales from the Elizabethan Underworld" and "Before the Zip".
