Virtual History Day
On Saturday September 26th 2020, TASRLS is taking part in the Virtual History Day organised by Leamington History Group (LHG). LHG is dedicated to collecting and preserving the history of Leamington Spa and neighbouring districts. They hold meetings, conduct guided walks around Leamington and publish books on various aspects of local history.
They also hold an annual History Fair, usually at the Parish Church, where groups involved in any aspect of local history can have a stand. We thought that this was an ideal opportunity to showcase the work of our Heritage Volunteers as well as our Trails of Discovery.
Unfortunately, like so many events this year, this cannot now take place in its usual format. However, not to be defeated, the LHG is instead holding it online! There will be videos, including our own, on various aspects of local history, which will be available throughout the day and the following week (not just at the times specified on the LHG website).
Although the TASRLS video includes a summary of all our activities, the focus is on Heritage Volunteering and Trails of Discovery, so if these areas are less familiar to you this is an ideal opportunity to find out more!
