The Root Cellar Reception.
Computer Room to help dig up your roots.
Seated at the desk is our very own Santa, Alan Stewart-Kaye, secretary, and stood by the side of him is our programme secretary, Richard Brown.
We are always looking for volunteers to help on the desk or help visitors, and of course, transcribe and training is available. Accommodation is tight but we manage. We do have some rooms downstairs in the converted cellar, and sometimes hold our monthly committee meetings there on the first Tuesday evening of the month. It can be quite cosy in the winter as sometimes that can be ten of us attending.
