Welcome to our New Style News Sheet.
As our Winter turns slowly into spring and hopefully the tide of the pandemic begins to ebb, surely the time has come to return to some form of Normality.
Until we can restart our regular meetings The Committee of the Society intends to encourage all our members to re-engage with matters historical .
Initially we invite our members to contribute ideas to our future programme. Simply jot down your thoughts send them to the secretary preferably by email or via the Contact Section of our Website .
Naturally, we will keep you informed of our progress via our regular emails and our website https://ormskirkhistoricalsociety.co.uk/
Our first recommendations include photographs, films, historical documents, and even some Television programmes.
Please take the opportunity to select something which may interest you and enjoy an Historical evening at home.
