Training with the People's Collection, NLW


Hazel Thomas from NLW came down to Monkton Community Hall to give us some training on accessing and uploading to the People's Collection, scanning and museum procedures. An enjoyable day with a good teacher - we gained a lot and hope to build on this in the coming months.

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.

Out and about with Henry this summer

The Henry VII macquette

At the Pembroke River Rally

At the Pembroke Show

At the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre
 

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!
