| Meeting Place 1st chesham scout hq, east street, chesham |
The group meets on the 1st Tuesday of every month at the 1st Chesham Scout Headquarters, East Street, Chesham (adjacent to the railway station) from 2:00 to 4:30 pm. We welcome new members and ask that contact is made with one of the convenors before attending the meeting.
Since
its inaugural meeting in January 2009 the Group has continued to attract an
increasing number of enthusiastic Family Historians eager to find ways of
learning more about their ancestors.
The
membership covers the full spectrum of experience, from those just starting out
on their
family history to others with considerable experience.
Accommodating the needs of such a diverse group is proving a challenge and
we are constantly
working on
the development and delivery of an appropriate programme of topics and
activities.
A
key element of this ongoing
programme, is the support for our
beginners through several of our more experienced members acting as Group Leaders and Mentors.
However,
the needs of the other members are
not forgotten.
Our lively and well attended monthly meetings encompass a wide range of
topics covered by means of presentations and discussions, plus, of course,
there’s the opportunity to chat to like minded people.
