Welcome to the Newbury
District Field Club
Founded in 1870 the
Field Club is Newbury's local history society with additional interests
in all aspects of the Newbury district's natural history, geology, etc.The Club meets on afternoons (2nd Friday of the month) between October and April with summer excursions to places of interest. Recently an additional programme of evening meetings has commenced (4th Tuesday of the month), to open up the Club to prospective members who are unable to attend afternoon meetings and to promote interest in the history of the area. The City Project
The Field Club is delighted to support the Newbury Society in the foundation of The City Project. This project aims to celebrate the unique area of Newbury known colloquially as The City. The City is steeped in a history that it sometimes seems to keep as a secret. The City Project will build on the work of the Field Club's Study Group from the 1990s to promote interest in this fascinating part of town. On 20 March the City Project will hold an open meeting at Fair Close Day Centre between 10 am and 4 pm. There will be an exhibition, guided walks of The City (11 am, 1 pm and 3 pm), a presentation on the City Project (2 pm) and, of course, tea and coffee. If you live in the area or are simply interested in it please come along and find out about the Project. If you have any old photographs, documents or just memories of The City, please bring them along. |
