MINUTES of the February 2018 MEETING of PACKINGTON VILLAGE HISTORY GROUP PVHG
held in Venue 35 – the Memorial Hall Meeting Room
on Tuesday 27th February at 7:30pm
Present: Chairman Robin Boucher and 9 members. Apologies were received from Robert Dilworth and Sarah Marvin
Robin welcomed members and proceeded to give an extremely interesting talk on Anglo-Saxon England. We learned what life was like then, and the many wars and skirmishes from 350AD to the Battle of Hastings in 1066 when the Anglo-Saxon period ended. Questions to Robin and general discussion followed.
Other Business: Robin has been in touch with Terry Hammond with regard to the commemoration of the ending of the First World War. Terry will join us at our March meeting to tell of his proposals.
Yvonne is to contact Ken Hillier to see when members are able to visit the Ashby Museum.
The meeting closed at 9.35pm
