Group facilitator – Rob Jenkins
Other History Group members have stepped forward to share the various group tasks – Facility opening and closing, finance, refreshments and IT support.
This group will follow the u3a vision:
Members meeting with other people to share experiences and knowledge whilst enjoying each other’s company and learning together.
Meeting Format (which is kept under review and could change as the group matures):
Part 1 – Presentation by a group member on a historical subject significant to
themselves e.g. place, family member or event.
Break for refreshments
Part 2 – Sharing information on a historical subject agreed by the group. (Meeting attendees will have the opportunity to suggest subjects for forthcoming meetings. These can comprise historic time periods, major historical events, significant historical figures or local history topics).
