VE DAY EVENT
Thursday May 8th 11.00am – 3pm
Oadby Remembering the Past. (in conjunction with the Leicestershire & Rutland Family History Society) is organising a drop-in event at the club on 8th May. Members are very welcome to drop in for tea/coffee/cake etc.
There will be a small exhibition from the Oadby photographic archive and if your family goes back in time to Oadby during the Second World War and you have any photos of that time, please bring them along.
In addition, there will be an opportunity to find out how to obtain WW2 servicemen/women’s records for anyone interested, search the 1939 Register for family or perhaps discover family members in the Absent Voters lists for 1939/40 and 1945/6.
As you some members will know, the club was founded in 1946 to perpetuate the spirit fostered during the war/VJ street parties etc – so it seems a particularly significant venue for the event.
Please contact Sue Lester on publicity@lrfhs.org.uk for more information if required.
