As we head into 2022 there have been some changes at the Brandon & District Local History Society. At our last AGM we welcomed Sue as our Vice Chair and voted to become a campaigning society. This means that we will take a more active role in recording and preserving the town’s tangible heritage. It also means that we will be increasing the number of study evenings and slightly reducing the frequency of meetings with a guest speaker.
