On 19 October our AGM and final presentation of a very successful 2026 programme took place. Bob Massey presented on “Home Brewery and John Robinson”, which was well received by all present.
AGM reports were given by Val Bird, Chair (including the welcome news that the village map at the junction of Church Street and Town Street has been updated by Broxtowe Borough Council) and Frances Austin (Treasurer).
During the AGM Val explained that she was stepping down from the position of Chair. Members ratified the Committee’s suggestions that Val should take up a new role as Research and Project Team Leader and that Steve Austin and Nigel Statham should take over from Val with immediate effect as Joint Chairs for the Group. The Group presented Val with flowers and a small gift in recognition of her contribution over many years from the Group’s foundation to the present day.
As this year’s season ends, here is our 2027 programme for you to look forward to.
We have an ongoing project to record all the memorials/inscriptions in the graveyard at St. Michael’s Church.
We would like to record more oral histories over the coming Spring/Summer. If you were living in Bramcote prior to 1980 and would like to share your memories with members of our research team, please get in touch via the “contact us” facility on this website.
We have also begun an initiative to collect information regarding the Ericsson/Plessey site in Beeston. If you have any photos (particularly colour), plans or other information relating to the buildings on the site which you would be prepared to share, please let know via the “contact us” facility on this website.
