The Chronicle now fills two binders - so much has been done and said about us over the past few years!
The Chronicle is brought to our meetings and is always available for members to browse through - many members find themselves featured in its pages without knowing they were there!
Many of our previous events and meetings are listed on our Diary and Events page.
Christine Chapman - Chronicle Keeper
"Some time ago I began to compile a scrap book of newspaper cuttings and the occasional photograph of things to do with the Historical Research Group of Sittingbourne. As the scrap book began to fill it was considered to be more than just scraps, so it was given the title of ‘History Book’. Further development took place to include reports of every social event and project that the HRGS were involved in. The History Book, now an important part of the HRGS required a more ‘fitting’ title, hence the name CHRONICLE. The Chronicle has ‘grown’ and now takes up two lever arch files dating from 2004, when the HRGS was first formed. The Chronicle is available for members to browse through at most social events and will be found alongside our library display. We are continually adding to the files as we feel that the Chronicle is not just for the Group to have to have ‘a trip down memory lane’, but a means of passing on information to future generations. Anyone doing historical research knows how valuable this type of information can be." |
