Meeting Notes for July

Our meeting at the Hancock Museum started with a message from Michael about his historic tour around Consett. It was agreed by us and Michael's classes that the tour would take place on the following:

Monday 31 July
Meeting at Eldon Square Bus Station (rear of John Lewis) at 10:20

Picture from Newcastle Chronicle

Michael has plans to show us the site of the former Steel Works and historic buildings and monuments around the town. He and his wife have extended their invitation to include refreshments at there house. This is a very generous and thoughtful act which I am sure we all appreciate, so if you have the time please join and support us in this entertaining endeavour from Michael.

Coat of Arms and City Logos

Last month the group set up a research project to look at Logos and Coats of Arms of different places. Maureen entertained us with a description of Glasgow Coat of Arms and brought along an artefact which showed the Coat of Arms and a poem for children to remember. It was a great effort for Maureen, very instructive and entertaining. In the not so distant future we will publish Maureen's efforts.

There will be no August meeting as we are nearly all on Holiday, Our next meeting will be Wednesday September 13 at the Hancock 10:20 upstairs cafe:
