This is the page where you can find events and meetings for the whole of the year; it’s what we call our “Long-term” page, as opposed to the information on our Latest Update pages. In fact this page goes as far as March 2023!!
Each month, tickets are available for non-members via EventBrite. You will find information about the meeting and the link at the top of our Facebook page.
Please do consider joining us! Why pay £10 or more to watch a single “virtual” speaker when you can spend £10 with Nuneaton & North Warwickshire Family History Society and get a presentation every month with some renowned speakers? What a bargain! Go to the link below – and join us!
