I should have mentioned this before - I’ve been a committee member for the Betley Local History Society (BLHS) for over a year now. You can find out more about us here. We organise regular talks and occasional visits and exhibitions.

There’s also a blog where, in addition to posting about topics that, I hope, are of general information for our members, I also try to capture some of the flavour of those talks and presentations that I attend.

Having grown up in Betley, and now taking a little time to reminisce about the place and the people who lived there, makes my involvement with BLHS that much more important.
