West Deeping Heritage’s Annual General Meeting in May marked the end of the 2022 – 2023 season of talks – with a change of venue and breaking all records for its brevity!
Over a cup of tea (and cakes for some) in the cafe at Vine House Farm, members of the committee and some loyal supporters read through a review of the last year’s events and looked over the annual accounts.
It was an opportunity to thank committee members, Allan Crowson, Liz Noble, Linda Upson and Paul Bragg, for their help in running of the group, as well as those who serve refreshments and help with setting up the Village Hall, our normal venue for talks. Thanks were also passed on to Barrie Upson for checking the accounts.
The AGM was over in less than quarter of an hour, so Nicholas Watts – our host for the afternoon – took us over to the barn which houses his collection of agricultural implements, gathered from all over the British Isles. There was a story to be told about every tool and Nicholas Watts held everyone’s interest until nearly closing time!
Many thanks to our “in-house” photographer, Paul Bragg, for most of the pictures in this digital record of our visit.
Our 2023 to 2024 programme starts on Tuesday 26th September with an evening talk by archaeologist Ian Meadows on Roman food and drink – “Wine, women and stuffed dormouse”!
We look forward to welcoming you to or normal venue in the Village Hall, West Deeping.
