The group's 10th birthday was celebrated last month.

John Sparry, from the Black Country, gave a talk about local colloquialisms, many of which come from the coal-mining industry.

Much of his information came from old newspapers.

The group meeting was hosted by Brockencote on April 4, when a talk was given on Snowshill Manor.

May 15 will feature Resolutions, followed by Wearing my other Hat presented by members.
