We are closing down.
Unfortunately due to lack of people coming onboard to help to run this and our ages as we are all retired people we have taken the decision to close.
March this year will be our last presentation night.
Our treasurer is needing to retire from it due to his health and his wife a committee member is also too unwell to come anymore.
So two down.
If I fall ill there's no one to take over my role as Secretary.
However our website will be kept running and if you have never logged into Tupton Local History Society web site its worth a look as there's a lot of information and photographs on the site.
Meanwhile our next and last presentation which I'll be advertising is by a local lad who will tell us about the group he is in which goes down old Derbyshire Mines.
So a fitting ending to a Society that has brought so many good speakers into Tupton as well as some lovely people.

Please try and come to our last one. I didn't see you come in at the last one so missed having a natter.
We have a committee meeting coming up and the generally feeling of our last one was to put on a farewell buffet - so hopefully that will happen.
As I've said our treasurer needs to stand down due to ill health and his wife is also quite poorly.
No one to take over that job.
If I fell ill and couldn't do the secretaries job there's no one to stand in. As a back up I share all communications with the chair person so in the short term it would tick along.
But - we wouldn't have enough bodies on the presentation night to run it.
It's how it goes these days with groups isn't it!
