LATEST NEWS
In this section of our website we have combined our previous News Page with our Noticeboard page to keep you up to date with news from the Breconshire Local & Family History Society, and other developments in local history and family history in general. In order to keep this news page a manageable length, we will periodically move the older news items into our News Archive.
We also have a Facebook page @ https://www.facebook.com/breconblfhs
Previous Meetings
We have been experimenting with a new format for allowing our members who are not able to come to our monthly meetings to experience them - videos.
So far we have uploaded two:
No-one In Particular by Helen Ball from February 2017
Ewenny Pottery by Ieuan Evans from August 2018
We hope you enjoy this new format and if you have any comments, please get in touch.
Hopefully more will be added over the next few months.

Monthly Meetings
Dear Friends,
We have decided to cancel all social activities connected with our Society, until further notice. This is in line with Government advice and is needed to protect our Members and others who attend our meetings.
Thanks for your understanding and stay safe.
