AGM Wednesday 11th May 7:30pm in St Paul's Church

gaah! forgot to send the details of our next meet to the Starcross Newsletter
and it's the AGM
AGMs are things to avoid...
but this one might not be too bad  because we hope to do the boring stuff really quickly:
  • ask for committee members 
  • elect the committee
  • adopt the constitution
  • present the accounts
  • review progress
  • plan for the future
Then we'll have a Show and Tell of anything about Starcross history.  We have some items which include:
The only known photograph of Captain George Peacock
Pub token from the Jolly Sailor which is no longer a pub in the village

Tuppence halfpenny


but we ask for anyone to please bring more old photographs and items for the group to discuss.

The meet will be on Wednesday May 11th at 7:30pm in St Paul's Church
There's no charge for admission, and no joining fee because we think that local history should be for everyone; not just for an elite few who can afford to pay  a tenner a year. We raise money for the room hire by having a raffle, so please bring a raffle prize, and we charge £1 for tea or coffee with a biscuit. We also sell our enamel club badges for £5
and we have some of the booklets about the atmospheric railway for £3 each
 We hope you'll find time to come along and have your say. Should we take an interest in the state of the Peacock-Cookson memorial in Starcross Churchyard? Will you help with our oral history project? How could we improve this weblog? Would you help with publicity?
