Our House Researcher Darren Butler is giving a free talk on House History at our Coffee Morning this Thursday morning in the Lecture Room at the rear of the Salem at 10am.
We are giving a talk at the Lakeside Residential Home on Monday on the topic of ‘The Good Old Days’ and we are providing a photographic display of Cheslyn Hay Carnivals on Saturday and Sunday 15/16 May at the Cannock Chase Museum. Plus a talk and display at Glenthorne Primary School on the ‘Industries of Cheslyn Hay’ on Wednesday afternoon.
This week we have been presented with quite a remarkable British Legion Official Programme and Order of Service commemorating the visit of Ex-Servicemen of the Great War to Staffordshire, but what is unique is the signatures on the programme.  They include the Earl of Harrowby, leading dignatories from Poland, Greece, France, Italy,Bulgaria, a couple of Lord Mayors and Great Wyrley’s Colonel WE Harrison.
Tickets  are now printed for the Anglo Saxon Hoard talk by County Archeologist Ian Wykes on 24th June.  Proceeds go to the Anglo Saxon Hoard itself and tickets are £2.50 each.  Normal price for this talk is £5 but we are limited to the Salem capacity of 120 tickets and sales are going well.  Tickets can be bought or reserved by phoning 01922 414772.
We have donated £50 for the Salem appeal for repairs to their ceiling and the church would appreciate any further support for their fund raising events and donations throughout the year.
Five weeks into our current year we now have an incredible 194 members, which will easily surpass last years membership of 208.
All visitors are welcome at our new base at the rear of the Salem through the iron gates but easy access can be arranged through the main doors by phoning 01922 414772 in advance.
