Many Thanks To Tony Wadsworth & Julie Mayer

For Their Support  For The LRFHS. Most visitors to the Centre for the Open Day had listened to Julie’s broadcasts on Friday

Hear Tony’s Morning Show On BBC Radio Leicester on

104.9FM & DAB & Online daily From 9am till Midday

The Open Day was very busy. The doors opened at 10.00 am, and we were soon packed with visitors waiting and eager to find out more about this addictive “hobby” or armed with their queries & problems for us to try and solve.

Our volunteer staff were kept busy all day pointing people in the right direction

or hopefully answering those queries.

Our computers were kept busy all day with researchers anxious to find those missing ancestors

A very successful busy day which could not have taken place without our volunteer staff who give their own free time to run the Centre.

Many thanks to all our volunteers

Chairman
