Mike Petty
Fenland History
on Friday 2012

with Mike Petty, Spring 2012

Fenland History on Friday is not a club or society just a series of presentations on aspects of Fenland history open to anybody who cares to come along. It’s also a good place to share and learn hints and tips on researching the area and add to your library. Meetings take place at Ely Library, The Cloisters, Ely, each Friday from October to May, 10.30 to noon, £2.50 on the door. Sometimes meetings have to be changed at short notice. In these cases we use the expertise in the room – so you may well be joining in! There are just 50 seats so it’s best to come early!

Not a Club, not a Society – just meetings about our area
ALL ARE WELCOME SO COME ONE OR ALL
