Next Thursday's monthly meeting will introduce us to the work of the Hampshire air ambulance. Note this is a change to the programme shown at the beginning of the year.
Not a lot of news this month, so here's a reminder about the Second World War project...
Following the success of our book on Hayling during the First World War, we are applying for a Lottery grant to produce a new book covering Hayling during the Second World War and the intervening years. In anticipation, Mike Burnham is collecting useful material and arranging interviews with people that have relevant memories. If you can help or know someone that could help, please contact Mike Burnham: get in touch with him direct.
We send this email on the week-end before each monthly meeting. If you have something you'd like to include please let me know.

This is just to let you know that the visit to Hampton Court is now open for bookings. We had originally wanted to combine the visit with a river trip from Chertsey but this proved too expensive and time consuming. In any event there is so much to see at Hampton Court that a day is hardly sufficient.
