Our second visit for 2024 was an afternoon walking tour of the attractive town of Burbage, near Hinckley on 4th July. Hosted by the Burbage Heritage Group, 18 of us enjoyed learning about the history, stories and characters from the town’s past and seeing a variety of architectural styles. Click here to see other photos from the visit. The walk followed their published heritage trail (see: https://www.burbageheritage.co.uk/trail.html for further details).

Membership Fees – 2024

The Committee met recently to review the situation and, in the light of increasing costs, especially speakers’ fees, we have recommended that the charge for membership in 2024 will be £15 pa. The entry fee to meetings for Members remains at £1.50 per meeting but has increased to £3.50 for non-members. This is the first rise for many years and we hope you understand the reasons for our decision.
