Connecting the People of
Cambridgeshire with their Past
CALH Lectures and Events for Spring 2012
On 4th February, we have real treat when we have a viewing of the excellent professionally produced film made by the students of Sawston Village College. The film is entitled:
Henry Morris: The Life & the Legacy
At last year's Spring Conference at lunch time we watch a draft version of a film made by the students of Sawston Village College to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the college, the first in Cambridgeshire. The student won one of our CYPHA awards for their work on this project. In July this year the film was finalised and premiered. It is a truly stunning and very professional film. This is an opportunity to view this film and discuss with the students their experiences in making it.
The CALH AGM & Local History Awards Ceremony will take place on Saturday 16th June 2012 for more information please click here
Unless otherwise stated all Lecture meetings are held on Saturdays at 2.15pm. Meetings are held at St. John's Hall, Blinco Grove, off Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 2RN for those of you with Satellite Navigation.
