Tuddenham through the seasons and information on the local airfield. Sandie

Records
Revisited - Tue 7 Sept, 7.30pm
Following the success of the last group visit
to the Bury Records Office, they have kindly agreed to host another one. This
will coincide well with the start of the 22villages project so make sure your
village does not miss out (max 25 places). Please book through Joe.
22villages
project... Never Heard of it!
A set of displayboards promoting the
22villages is now available. They are 2.1m high by 3.2m wide and can be
borrowed, free of charge, to help you raise awareness among your villagers at
local meetings and fetes etc. They are extremely easy to assemble (it says
here!) and the imagery is already attached to the boards and as they are
covered in loop nylon accept Velcro dots to attach your own posters.
