Concerns about the viability of the History Group have eased somewhat.
A new body has been created to support the Committee and undertake projects.
Committee membership has been reshaped and an outline plan for a programme of public meetings over the winter has been agreed,
See https://www.westbourne-history.org.uk/group-structure-changes for more detail.
To facilitate Westbourne Local History Group’s intent to produce a CD package including a complete version of the original publication together with topic comments on errors and updates the Group has added a new webpage to it’s website and thus offers an online Input Form as part of this website, as an alternative method for such comments.
