Redditch Local History Society

elcome
The Redditch History Society is a local community group, formed in 2009, which
aims to provide a range of monthly history presentations, both local and more
general, to promote the history of our town, both within the area and more
widely, and to encourage members to investigate, document and promote the
history of Redditch and the surrounding area.
We have ten Monthly Meetings throughout the year from February to December
(we have no meeting in January or August). Nine of the meetings have the same
format with a speaker for the first hour followed by tea/coffee and biscuits (a
small charge applies). The April meeting is our Annual General Meeting and
includes a history film.
The society supports and encourages members to:
•
Create presentations/talks concerning their interests and we are always
happy for members to give their talks at our meetings.
•
Produce articles/books on local history. We are pleased to publish short
articles in our quarterly Newsletter.
•
Carry out research into our local and regional history.
Of course, we are happy to have members who simply wish to listen to a
monthly talks. This is the majority of our members and we are grateful that they
support us.
The society publishes an eight page Newsletter
ten times a year to correspond to our ten
meetings. August and January are included in the
July/August and December/January editions.
Promoting the history of the area since 2009
The newsletter has updates, a meeting report, including the presentation, activities, news, information on the next meeting, and
short articles written by members and supporters. Issues of our newsletters can be found at Newsletter
We meet at the Oasis Christian Centre in Plymouth Road on the second Monday of the month (except for changes due to
national celebrations etc).
Meetings begin at 2.00 pm. Membership costs £20 per year, which includes entry to all meetings. Non members are welcome to
attend our meetings and a charge of £4 is made. This is refundable against the membership fee if joining at the meeting.
Our programme of meetings for the current year can be found at Programme of Meetings
