History Group
Convenor: Cathie Faubert
The History Group welcomes new members to participate in this Interest Group. The History Group has been viable for a very long time, as many members are very keen to be educated about historical perspectives.
Outings will be organized for the upcoming year as members want to learn about local, federal and international history.
Meetings are usually held either on the Third or Fourth Wednesday of the month during the daytime.. There may be a nominal fee to participate.
Please contact the Convenor for further details and to be placed on the mailing. list. Come join a fun group of ladies as we explore our past to understand our future.
