We have six groups which explore different aspects of history, both local and global:
Workshop style for those who have already begun their Family History research who want to gain more knowledge of recent FH developments; improve their research techniques; develop their family trees; learn about their ancestors from a historical perspective. A mixture of lecture style information; group discussions; cameos of ancestors; small projects and sharing information.
Farnham and the surrounding area is rich in history. Group members are encouraged to contribute their knowledge and investigations. Some guest speakers.
We will be looking at some of the most important scientific discoveries and theories, the people involved and their impact. No scientific knowledge is necessary but group members will be expected to make a contribution and perhaps do some research of their own.
Meets monthly, on Thursday, from 14.00 to 16.00.
Note: the December meeting will start at 14:30, not 14:00
We have presentations covering a variety of aspects – personnel, strategy, logistics, intelligence gathering, training, the evolution of weapons and their impact on battle tactics from ancient times to the present day.
A diverse group where the commonality is a passion for history! Variety of talk formats such as individual 80 minute presentations, short talks by several presenters on a theme, debates, interviews and book reviews. Covering World History from Ancient times through Medieval to the Present. We will continue to offer hybrid sessions for most meetings, meaning that you will still be able to join us in person at the Maltings or on Zoom.
Meets fortnightly, on Monday, from 10:00 to 12:00.
Most meetings will use the successful hybrid format i.e. meeting in person at the Maltings AND via Zoom link.
