KHAS Affairs

Last month: John Rice brought his knowledge and experience to bear when he spoke on The History of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. His love for the regiment and its successors was made amply clear in the course of a very clear presentation.

This evening: we have Laurence Ince, from Solihull, who has been delving into the history of his wife’s family, the Holbeches of Alvechurch. It will be interesting to see if and how he has broken through some of the brick walls which often confront family historians.

The Holbeches of Alvechurch

Next month our Christmas meeting will commence with a couple of contributions from members and be followed by our usual buffet and drinks party. If you are able to contribute towards the festive fare please let Jan or Margaret know this evening what you would like to bring.

How about writing up something of interest for Kenilworth History? Chris Blunt has taken over the unenviable task of assembling the material for our annual publication, Kenilworth History. He would dearly love to hear from you if you have a little snippet that might be suitable for next year’s issue.Think what has made you stop and think and offer to write a few words on it for Chris. He would be delighted!!
