An event about Rugby school and the sport of Rugby. We do hope to have a guest speaker from Rugby school on the Tuesday evening.
Please not that this event may be subject to a change of date.

We are looking at getting a few village residents in a group discussion to talk about their memories of Gilmorton.
A change here as we have a joint venture with Gilmorton church and the event will be held in the church itself. This will coincide with Heritage Week which is held nationally by museums and history related groups and organisations. The history group have considered a Heritage Week event for some time and now we have the opportunity. In line with Heritage Week policy, there will be no entry fee.
Another change to our usual routine, Bozena Kunzewicz will be a guest speaker on the Wednesday morning ONLY and will give a talk on the Polish settlement in the UK and especially the displaced Poles after the war in camps such as Husbands Bosworth.
