The Society are currently considering our travelling occasionally further afield, to give Members in those areas a chance to travel shorter distances to speak with us. we have dismissed the London events as too expensive for us to attend and are now looking for one day Family History Events in either Autumn/Winter 2009 or any part of 2010 that we could set-up at, we would prefer events that are well attended by other FH Societies rather than those aimed at Commercial Exhibitors AND in a location where Salopians have migrated to (we don't ask for much do we!), events such as Glamorgan FHS' Open Day at Cardiff in October which we are trying to attend. If you know of an event that might suit us, then please suggest it to us ASAP, so that we can set wheels in motion and advertise our attendance to our Members via the Journal.
