Just a quick reminder about Local History Day 2012 - coming for the first time to Manchester.
Programme
10.30 to 4.30 at Friends Meeting House, 6 Mount Street, Manchester M2 5NS
Paul Carter, Records of the Victorian Poor - Poor Law Correspondence: an underused source for local historians
BALH AGM
Local History Awards
Annual lecture:
Karen Hunt, The local and the everyday@ inter-war women's politics
Tickets cost £18 (£25 for non members) and includes coffee/tea on arrival and a sandwich lunch
Those in the London/south east area might like to know that advance fares are now on sale: £12 each way (reduced, if you are as old as me and possess a senior railcard, to £7.90). Bookings via Virgin Trains do not incur a fee for using a credit card.
You might also be interested in a guided visit to the John Rylands Library on Friday 15 June.
Should you wish to make a weekend of it, I am told that the Etap at Salford Quays is good budget hotel.
I hope to see many of you there and to be able to put some faces to names.
Regards
Ruth
