Latest News – March 2024

Next event

Wednesday, 20th March in the small Blyth Hall.

We are looking forward to welcoming one of our members, Rupert Williams, who will be giving a talk entitled ‘Tide, Time and Transience: The Salmon Bothies of the River Tay’.

There was a lot of interest in the salmon bothies on the banks of the Tay when we had our historical river trips last year. We are lucky to have an expert on the subject amongst our members!

There is no entry charge but there will be a donations box to help cover hall costs and speaker’s expenses.
We hope to see you there.

 

Our online shop

Our latest book ‘Lest we forget’ is now available from our online shop. It contains all the information and more from our hugely moving and well-received poppy project of 2022. You will also find note cards, 2024 calendars and our other books. We can post these to you with a small charge for P&P, or deliver them free of charge in Newport and Wormit. They will also be available at our future events.

Our book ‘Houses with a History’ was produced in response to the huge demand for it at our Houses with a History exhibition and is full of fascinating facts about 79 houses in Newport and Wormit. It has proved so popular that it has sold out! We do however have some ‘seconds’, not quite perfect copies, available through our online shop at the reduced price of £6.50.
