HGS Bookstall Outings
We have started our annual visits to shows across the country. Our first venture was to the Genealogy Show at the Three Counties Showground at Malvern on 15th March. It was great to meet current members and welcome new ones on the day. We were helped on the bookstall by two local members, Julie and Gill. Look out for Julie’s article in the next journal about her experience.
On 29th March we ventured into Dorset for the South West FHF Really Useful Family History Show at Kinson, Bournemouth. It was a glorious day so many people attended the show. This time we were assisted by volunteer members, Forbes and Steve.
Both shows had speakers, and ask the experts, always a good pull. On our bookstall we always have HGS publications, generic family history books, secondhand books – always a firm favourite – and we are always available to give advice. It is a pleasure to meet people and hear their stories!
Future dates of shows or events we are attending are always listed in the journal. If you would like to help or just come and visit the stand there is always a warm welcome awaiting you.
