MENDIP POSTCARD CLUB

ABOUT

We meet monthly on the third Monday of every month at 7.30pm  at Wells Town Hall.  At most of our meetings we listen to a speaker.   We also share information about our hobby of collecting postcards.   There is usually an opportunity to sell and to buy some postcards.   Over a cup of tea and coffee  we can network.  We welcome visitors.

OUR PROGRAMME

Our programme has been drastically affected by Covid-19.   However, we are meeting again from September 2021. See below

New insights into local history

At our June meeting Sylvia Healey gave an interesting talk about the local elections in 1906 and 1910 (when there. were two elections in the same year.).  The talk was illustrated with postcards for the period showing local candidates and descriptions of the local events they attended.  Sylvia also spoke about the context of the elections immediately before the outbreak of World War 1.
