Cowbridge History Society

Events

Pre Covid-19, our meetings used to be held in the Lesser Hall, Cowbridge.

However, we are now moving into the virtual world and will be holding meetings via 'ZOOM' for the foreseeable future.

Talks will still start at 7:30 pm and are on the first Friday of each month, as before. Please note that the AGM on 2nd October starts at 7:00 pm.

Members will have been contacted by email with an update and with our Newsletter - and the good news that Membership Fees have been waived for the current period of 2020-21.

See below for our programme of events.

2020 Meetings

Please bear with us if we encounter technical difficulties. We will do our best to keep our Society going and we look forward to a time when we can all gather together again in the usual way.

Friday 2nd October: AGM at 7:00 pm

The AGM was postponed in May due to Covid-19. It is now scheduled to take place via 'Zoom' and members will be sent an email link on the day. You will be able to join the meeting from 6:40pm for a prompt 7:00pm start.

This will be followed by a film lasting 51 minutes:
