As usual, the society had a stall at the New Road Community Centre in October. The overall theme was “That’s Entertainment”.
Members Gwen Fisher, Betty Smith and Doreen Turner volunteered to organise a cake stall which raised £57 towards Society funds, thanks go to them and all who donated goodies for them to sell. We also had a stall of our local history publications.

We used the occasion to take the opportunity to ask local people to help identify faces on some old photographs we have recently been given. This photograph shows visitors doing a fine job remembering many names.
Thanks are also due to Margaret Greenwood, the Society Archivist, for putting on a exhibition “Entertainment in Earby in bygone days”. A few memories were jogged and some useful information was gleaned from people viewing the display.
