Hello All,

Here are the details of the Family History Society's event at Clarence House (the old school on Humberstone Gate) on 14th September at 2pm. All are welcome but you need to book a place, as below. I understand that the limit of 20 people is flexible.

I am still awaiting details regarding Bill Mann's funeral, which I will pass on as soon as I have them.

I've not managed to resolve the apparent issue with .ntlworld and .blueyonder email addresses. I think my emails to those addresses are being rejected as spam. However If you have an account with those two and you do actually get this email, I'd be very glad if you would let me know.

Best wishes,

Brian
