Future Programme

The Guarlford History Group have completed their new book "The Guarlford Scene" which is with the printers. The book is a pictorial history of life in the village, the families then and  now, and the changes that have taken place over the last 100 years.

All being well, it is planned to hold the book launch on Sunday 14th September 2008 in the paddock at Cherry Orchard, in Rectory Lane. 

Everyone interested is invited to come along, whether living in the village or not. There will be a marquee and trestle tables for a bring and share picnic lunch, but please bring food, drink, eating irons and folding chairs.

Book sales will commence about 2:00 pm. If you plan to buy one or more books, it would help if you would bring the exact money. Alternatively purchases can be made by cheque, made out to the 'Guarlford History Group'.

If you can't get along to the book launch, books will be available from Guarlford Nursery, Beacon Books and GHG members.

Why not consider buying additional copies for friends and relatives for Christmas. At this price it is a bargain and will give immense pleasure.

Other Activities

Work on the aural archive is still proceeding, albeit slowly as we have been concentrating on finishing the book. If you would like to have some of your memories recorded for posterity, either on tape or in print, please either talk to a member of the group or e-mail the Webmaster.

The History Group has also been consulting with the new Guarlford Footpath Warden and others about the feasibility of publishing more Village Walk leaflets. The first walk has been published on the web site and can be printed from the web page.

The photographic competition and craft exhibition was a great success. Thanks to all who entered photographs and helped with the exhibition in the Village Hall on the 2nd September 2007. The photographs which were to have been published in colour in the Guarlford Scene, have had to be printed in duotone due to unexpected printing limitations.
