We have ten Monthly Meetings throughout the year beginning in February
and finishing in December. We have no meeting in August. Nine of the
meetings have the same format. We have a local history speaker for the first
hour and a refreshment internal for tea/coffee and biscuits. Non-members
are encouraged to attend these meetings.
The April meeting is our Annual General Meeting, where we elect our officers
for the year, have some local history films and members can pay annual
subscriptions.
Programme of Meetings
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 a monthly Newsletter. During the pandemic this
was enhanced to an eight page publication.
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. We will continue to
produce an eight page edition as long as we have sufficient material.
Issues of our newsletters can be found at Newsletter

We have ten Monthly Meetings throughout the year
beginning in February and finishing in November. The nine
meetings until November all have the same format. We have
a speaker for the first hour, a refreshment internal for
tea/coffee and biscuits and this is followed by updates on our
activities. Non members are encouraged to attend these
meetings. The exception is our Annual General Meeting,
where we elect our officers and committee and make major
decisions for the future. This is followed by a film on
local/regional history. Programme of Meetings
Since we formed the Society in 2009, we have had an
Exhibition related to the history of Redditch at Forge Mill
Needle Museum which we have reprised in part at other
events where we have been present. In these exhibitions we
have encompassed the history of our town, Redditch in WW2,
Redditch industry and Redditch people. Activities
The society publishes a monthly newsletter which contains
meeting and event reports, news and other activities.
The current newsletter, and all back editions, can be accessed
on line at the society’s web site at Newsletter
As a local community group, the Redditch History Society is
committed to supporting community activities. We are
therefore present at some Outside Events.
