Regular Events
Special Events
We host special events throughout the year based on the needs of our local history projects.
We also hold events to compliment current work in the community, historical anniversaries, regular local events and memorial days.
Working Groups
We endeavour to ensure that our local historical sites are maintained and protected. We hold working groups to discuss and undertake the work and funding necessary.
Community Volunteers
Sometimes the WDHFG group seeks volunteers to help with the ever-growing demand for projects, events, indexing and copying/scanning of registers and other relevant documents.
Can you help? Please contact us for details.
