Hi all - Hope you have all survived the heatwaves and raring to go with our next event.
Our Jubilee event was brought forward slightly to coincide with national events taking place and although it has given us a bit of breathing space before the next event in September we are still working hard in the background on the time capsule too.
Our Time Capsule, with the final closure on Wednesday 9th November, is now gaining momentum with contributions coming in. We feel this is a golden opportunity to leave a legacy for the children of today. We tend to easily forget events such as the Jubilee, Covid, local issues and even general village life and by 2050 they will be part of long forgotten history. It’s sad to say that many of us will be history too by the year 2050 but our children will still be here and the time capsule will give them a glimpse of village life in 2021/22.
If you wish anything to be included (the deadline is Monday 3rd October) our contact details are below or you can bring it along to our next event in September.
Our next event entitled Gilmorton from Above is on Tuesday 13th September at 7.30pm and Wednesday 14th September at 10.00am and will look at aerial views of Gilmorton and compare past and present images to see how Gilmorton has changed over the years. We had planned to have the projector running giving folk the opportunity to “view their own house” but, as there is no internet access in the village hall, that is not possible and we put it down to senior moments!
Some of you may remember we had planned to use a drone to view aerial images but due to issues this is also not possible. In place of the drone though we are using Google Earth and although it has its limitations the views we are getting are quite suitable and “do the job” adequately.
Not too far away is our AGM and, believe it or not, this is our 7th. If you have never been you don’t know what you’re missing!!! So – a date for your diary is Wednesday 23rd November. More about that nearer the time.
Our events are the ideal places to either renew annual membership. Membership includes free entry to all regular events, a monthly newsletter, early notification and first choice of tickets at any special/social event or trips.
All our events are in the village hall unless stated otherwise.
