27th May Information Day

One of our stalls at the information day will be for those interested in doing research into local history. Joyce Miller, who did the historical research for 'Heres Tae Us' and 'The Three and Sixpenny Doctor' projects, will be available to offer some advice in the field of research. Information sheets will be available. Joyce is also a freelance researcher and has a wealth of knowledge on the subject.
