Stories from the Hopyard, and other Cusop History Society Events

There's a fascinating line-up of meetings planned for Cusop History Society this year.

The first is Stories from the Hopyard, a film that's part of the Herefordshire Life Through a Lens project. It mixes archive photos and film with oral history interviews with people from Hereford, South Wales, the Black Country, Polish migrant workers and Roma travellers. The film is an hour and a half long. That's on Friday 15th February at 7pm at Cusop Village Hall.

On Sunday 3rd March there's a visit to Redwings, the house in Cusop Dingle.

On Thursday March 7th there's a special behind the scenes visit to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, hosted by Denise Darbyshire. I won't be able to go to this one (and places are limited, so it's wise to book early - there will be car sharing to get down there), but I went last year and it was a brilliant experience!

On Friday 12th April, at 7pm, Cusop Village Hall, the talk will be on Voices of the River Wye, an oral history project.

There's also information on the research being carried out by members of the Society on their website at cusophistory.wix.com

Meetings cost £3 to attend, free to members, including refreshments.
