MANCHESTER & LANCASHIREFAMILY HISTORY SOCIETYMeetings Programme 2009 |
|
From the beginning of 2004, the society adopted a new format with quarterly full-day meetings which include a variety of discussions and talks focusing on a particular family history topic, usually with at least one guest speaker. All of the following meetings will be held at Clayton House and will begin at 10.30am. The afternoon talk is usually at 1.30pm. Please see the pages for each of the Society's Branches for details of Branch meetings. There is no charge but a free ticket system is necessary to ensure we are able to accommodate the number of members who wish to attend. Bookings will not be accepted until the date announced in the preceding issue of the Manchester Genealogist to try to ensure fair access to the limited number of places available. |
