We usually have a speaker or one of the members of the group will give a presentation.
In the summer months we organise trips to local places of interest. We try to cover the history of all mid-Wales and the Borders and welcome any new ideas for talks and trips.
The trips usually end up with tea/coffee and cakes.
We are always happy to welcome new members.
Please contact the Group Leader Elizabeth Barnes if you would like to join the group.
For reasons of insurance you must be a member of the U3A to join our Local History group.
