So, how did the meet go? Would have loved to join you, but had long ago arranged an appointment for this date. I used to live in The Avenue, off Bhylls Lane until 1950 when family moved to Claverley, Shropshire. Have now lived in Worcester for many years, but still have fond memories of walking with a friend and our dolls' prams to Bantock Park. I don't know if the house was a museum then. I think we thought it was so grand  that the Queen lived there!

When I started planning the meet it was just as a afternoon out for my family history group, who meet every month - hence the fact it was on Friday afternoon... then it developed into a mini-meet, which I think everyone enjoyed.  I'm thinking of arranging a similar 'do' for the FH group next spring - probably a group visit to Wolverhampton Archives - and also a similar picnic day next summer - preferably to somewhere cheap... all suggestions welcome...

If enough people are interested, I can contact Wolves Archives, who will arrange a guided tour behing the scenes at the archives: my group had a tour last year, which was very interesting. I had vague plans of turning this into a full day and hiring one of the meeting rooms to do a bit of tutoring as well, but the room hire would be £60 - £80.

Quell coincidence, as Del Boy would say: I was at school in Finchfield from 1965 - 1967, and one of my close friends lived on Bhylls Lane.  In fact I walked down Bhylls Lane a few weeks ago to get to the Kingswinford Railway Walk.  And a month ago today I was having lunch in the Plough in Claverley!
