The January meeting of the Kineton and District Local History Group saw the usual successful combination of AGM and annual supper. The AGM proceeded smoothly, with David Freke re-elected as Chairman and the rest of the committee and officers re-elected en-bloc, with the welcome addition to the committee of Roger Gaunt. The President Lord Willoughby de Broke presided.
There followed an ingenious and informative quiz devised by David Beaumont, a founder member of the Group, who raided his fine collection of local photographs which members had to identify. It was surprising how many even Kineton residents found they were unable to recognise!
However, the quiz was enjoyed by al, as an appetiser for the supper – once again the catering for the buffet supper was done by Isobel Gill, who provided an ample and delicious spread.
The evening ended with two comic monologues by group member Richard Acton, which was enjoyed by all. Members left feeling that a very happy evening as well as an instructive one had been spent and it is not every AGM about which this can be said!
