The first meeting of this new group was on 11 June 2009 and we decided to start by studying France.
The idea is that one or two members prepare a talk, not necessary with a PowerPoint presentation. Members can also just read aloud what they have found in books, on the internet and other sources.
It will be much appreciated if there is a summary with the facts available for the members after the talk to take home. This will keep members (also new ones) up to date with what we have done so far.

We started our first meeting in September with a timeline of Spanish history. We had a lively discussion about early Spanish history. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and the Visigoths came along. In the next meetings we will look at the Moorish era and try to find information about Spanish Kings and Queens and how the Spanish people lived.
The group got a few new members after the Open Morning. If you are interested in our subject you are very welcome to join us

In our April meeting we finish the history of Germany by looking at the events between the 1st and 2nd World War. As there is so much attention nowadays on the 2nd World War, we decided to leave Germany.
We will be spending the May and June meetings on a short overview of the history of The Netherlands.
We work in our group as follows: one of our members (voluntary) prepares the information found in books/internet and writes about it. We discuss it at the meeting, sitting round a table, passing along pictures and maps, about the subject, that members have found.
After the summer we will start with the history of Spain.
We are a small group, so anyone who is interested to join us is very welcome.
