We could not have anticipated the extreme heat on 24th June when the Summer Visit to Madresfield was due to take place, but it was a shame that it had to be postponed. The new date will be announced as soon as possible. We have our fingers crossed that 16th July will be a comfortable temperature for those booked on to the Hestercombe visit.
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!
