The 2025-26 ALHS season of Lectures has been a great success and the almost fully booked Summer Visits, combined with the completion of the first visit of the year indicates that the visits programme will be equally successful. The AGM took place on 13th May and was well attended. It was followed by one of Maddie Gray’s interesting and enjoyable lectures. Although we will not have another lecture until September our monthly email always offers plenty of suggestions for other organisation’s talks and events.
Over the past year, along with their monthly emails, our members have received a copy of the second edition of our children’s stories Abergavenny Tales and Trails, the third edition of our journal Gobannium Gazette, and our special publication Wendy Boston and the Bears, the History of the Toy Industry in Abergavenny and Crickhowell. You can find the download button here. Our £20 subscriptions represents excellent value for money!
