The latest newsletter is now available for download. It contains articles on the Bowling Green and Castle Inn, and a review of the recently published ‘Secret Chesterfield’ book by Richard Bradley.
At the February meeting we asked members and visitors if they would like meetings to continue through the summer. By an overwhelming majority the vote was in favour of meeting in the summer months. Therefore the committee have decided that meetings will be held in June, July and August this year. Once the speakers are arranged a new calendar will be issued.
