The Society held another of its renowned exhibitions on 11th May 2025. This one was to commemorate World War 2 and, in particular, the 80th anniversary of VE Day. The halls were crammed full with interesting stories, documents and artefacts. There was Lindy Hop dancing, period singers, teas and even a WW2 jeep on the drive. Whilst visitor numbers were not as high as last time, everyone who came along stayed for quite some time and said how much they had enjoyed it. Thanks go to all those who contributed.
The Lindy Hop Ladies entertained us with some songs of the period.
