Some meeting up for the first time since March 2020 for our annual Ramble, although this was a short stroll through the Country Park.

Being able to meet outdoors gave us the opportunity to carry out a much needed tidy-up at St. Michael's churchyard.

 
   
 
   

Due to Covid-19 we were unable to hold any further meetings during 2020.

Max Keen gave a superb presentation on Dudley Castle appearing in period costume. He also included a short history of Weoley Castle. He really engaged the audience and we would recommend him to others.

We attended St. Leonard's Church Hall, Frankley to assist Kate Green with her 'Walking the Pipeline' Project.  Lynn gave her talk on the Elan Valley and the Group had a display featuring photos of the reservoir and Frankley Water Works.

Six Primary Schools attended a Remembrance Service at St. Michael's.  We gave a short history of the district for the WW2 period and commemorated the first two men who lost their lives in 1941.

We attended the Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph in Romsley Road.

  Following the service we laid six poppy crosses on those graves in St Michael's churchyard that also commemorated one of the fallen during the two wars.

An thoroughly enjoyable presentation by Max Hunt on Herbert Austin and the legacy of the Longbridge plant.
