Next Saturday morning, April 5, Pembroke and Monkton Local History Society are hosting a talk by Colin Potter, secretary of Dyfed Family History Society. Colin will tell you how to get started and also how to improve on your Family Tree, with examples based on his own family in Pembrokeshire.

Doors open at 10am for the Coffee Morning followed by the Talk at 11am. However, building works taking place in the Town Hall have prevented the opening of the Museum so far this year - it is to be hoped that it will open again for Easter.

Also in April, there will be another of the society’s popular Quiz Nights in Pembroke Town Hall. That will be on Friday, April 25 at 7pm. Entry is £5 payable at the door and includes a tasty buffet - tea and coffee provided but you may bring your own wine if you wish.

The final talk of the 24/25 programme will take place on Saturday, May 3 when Andi Jones will talk about St Catherine’s Island, Tenby: its History, Restoration and Future. The island is a great place to visit if you have not already done so!

As usual, doors open at 10am for coffee and this time there will be an opportunity to visit the Museum and Council Chamber, which are situated on the first floor of the Town Hall – a lift is available for disabled access. The talk takes place at 11am in the main hall on the ground floor.

All are welcome to the talks and entry is free. Proceeds from the Coffee Morning and raffle cover the society’s overheads.
