BOLTON Family History Society has been forced to make a change to their planned programme.

Due to the ill health of the planned speaker for the event on Wednesday, December 2(Linda Sawley) the meeting will take on a different format.

There will still be the pie and peas supper for members to enjoy and there will be, possibly, a festive quiz rather than the talk.

For further information email Bolton@mlfhs.org.uk or ring Barbara Owen on 01204 309515.

Horwich Heritage meets at the Horwich Resource Centre, Beaumont Road (off Longworth Road), Horwich on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:30pm. Free parking and disabled access is available.

The next meeting is on Tuesday December 8 with Sid Calderbank providing a "Lancashire Evening".

Admission to the meetings is free to members but non-members are also welcome to attend for just £2 which is payable on the door at each meeting.

If you have a local history society or group you would like to publicise in Looking Back just let us know.

We are happy to publish details of meetings or events related to historical societies.

Perhaps you have started a new group and you are looking for members.

Or it may be you want to gain new members for an established group in the Bolton area.

If so do get in touch with Gayle McBain on 01204 537269 or email gayle.mcbain@nqnw.co.uk
