Online Events

As it looks like social activities won’t be getting back to normal any time soon now then Mill Road History Society has decided to take a step into the future and move our programme online.

Our first event is an online version of what we were originally planning to present as part of our AGM last month. In remembrance of the recent VE Day we have members of the society talking about WW2 objects they have “brought along” to show you.

See the event page at https://millroadhistory.org.uk/event/agm-and-a-special-event-to-mark-the-75th-anniversary-of-ve-day-2/ or on Facebook for all the details. The event is this Tuesday 9 June, at 7:30pm on Zoom.

We hope to bring you more online events, please sign up to our mailing list to be the first to be informed.

Events Suspended

We are sorry to announce that, due to the government advice to practice social distancing for the duration of the Coronavirus outbreak, we have decided to cancel our upcoming events for April, May and June.

We hope to rearrange these for the 2020/2021 season, assuming that life is back to normal then. We will update this website, and send information out to our mailing list and social media, as things change.

Due to upcoming new rules for all organisations that hold email addresses (the General Data Protection Regulation) we are contacting everyone on our mailing list to confirm that they still wish to be subscribed. The process is just to sign up again through our Mailing List form – the email makes it simpler by filling in the fields for you first.
