So, you can see that the THG have been very busy and much as been achieved. I believe the THG will continue to thrive, as we discover more and more of our local history.
Finally, I would like to say thank you to the Committee for the support and the hard work you have put in and also to our members and friends for your continued support and contributions. Without you the THG could not continue.
