56th Annual General Meeting and Excursions Preview

Papers for the AGM will be circulated (emailed or post) nearer the date. The AGM will be followed by a preview of summer excursions with refreshments and a local history quiz. We hope it will make an enjoyable evening.

We have endeavoured to advertise the change by previous email circulations and announcements at meetings, but have not thought it worth the expense of a further postal circulation to those members who do not have email. If you know a member who is not on email I should nevertheless be grateful if you would remind them of the change as their papers will not now arrive till after the 9th.

The society's newsletter, the Huntingdonshire Local History Almanack, with details of summer excursions, will be published for the AGM and printed copies will be available there as well as sent by email. Anyone reliant on receiving a paper copy but not able to be at the AGM will have their copy sent on afterwards.
