At the Dyfed Family History & Genealogy Fair

Yesterday, September 17th we took Henry to Carmarthen to promote the statue campaign. The Dyfed Family History & Genealogy Fair takes place annually at St Peter's Civic Hall in Carmarthen and is very popular.  Our Henry macquette certainly created much interest and we were able to draw attention to the other Pembroke Town Council projects the History Society is involved in - the Museum, Town Trail and joint events to promote Pembroke's history.

Quiz Night, Friday 16th September

Winners of our Quiz Night with an exceptionally high score were Pru Pattison, Meg Burrell, Alison Johns, Pam Evans, Mel Phillips with Quiz Master Chris Lankshear.

Out and about with Henry this summer

We've commissioned a lightweight macquette of the Henry VII statue to help promote the Statue Project and have been displaying him at events. We took him as far as Bosworth for the annual re-enactment of the battle's anniversary on the weekend prior to  August 22nd.  An amazing event - hope we can repeat the experience next year!

Friday's Quiz proved very popular with 45 people attending.  We raised £198 and all of this money is to be put towards the production of another maquette of the Henry VII statue so that we can take it around this summer to the various events we attend.
