Hadnall & District History Group

We are a local history group which meets in Hadnall Village Hall usually on the last Thursday of the month (not July, August or December) at 7.30pm. There is no membership fee but attendance at a meeting costs £2, which includes tea/coffee and a biscuit. Everyone is welcome.

We have a planned programme of speakers who are either invited from outside bodies, from the regular membership, or we have a "round-table" meeting where everyone can contribute to the topic. All types of session have proved popular in the past.
