Bev I shall be there Thursday with my hubby and when the person at Belgrave hall was taking names and telephone numbers I did a booking for 3 in the end, one for you, as the numbers were at about 20 and I hadn't spotted you, Mike said he would not be able to make it. Bet you heard but in case not it only takes 35 in the room they use and it's £1.50. I wasn't the only one from Nottingham and then there were complaints about people being on shift work not being able to come back.......It was a much nicer atmosphere in the pub, it was great to meet so will try again Thursday. Elaine

The talk is definately on tonight if you can make it Bev, have just rang to confirm. Elaine

Hi Elaine I shall try my best whos name did you reserve me under i made another booking for my daughter yesterday in case we do get, the man on the phone couldnt appologise enough.If you get him doing the talking your in for a long night he kept me on phone for ages talking about this and that. lol Bev

Hi Bev Booked it under Elaine Stephens, she put 2+1 on the booking, explained this to her this morning and there are about 20 booked so no problem if you can't get she says. Thought the atmosphere would be better going tonight after the mishap Tuesday Elaine

Hi Mike Your a star, going to get to work on looking at this lot you found, thank you very much. The talk was brill. All done in a slide presentation which showed Leicester at various times and compared some scenes to the present. Learnt quite a bit and met Bev in the process, a good week all in all Elaine

Hi Mike, Could you have a look for Samuel Berry in Lubenham in 1841 please - should be about 70; also any parish/general info on Berrys or Palmers (Samuel's wife Jane's maiden name) in Lubenham would be great. Thanks, Michael
