HERNE AND BROOMFIELD LOCAL HISTORY GROUP

Dear Members

Due to the current health worries regarding the rapid spread of the omicron variant of the covid virus it has been decided it would be wise to postpone the planned open meeting of the Herne and Broomfield Buildings Project due to be held on Saturday 15th January at The Wootton Room Herne Mill.

We will look to to re-schedule this in about March but would still encourage all those interested to continue to look out any relevant house related documents that would be useful for research purposes once we can resume and start to get this project up and running again

A Member's Newsletter will be sent out to you all in the next week to confirm our future programme etc.

kind regards

Margaret Burns

A/Chair
