Hagley Historical and Field Society

Our next meeting at St Saviour’s Church Hall is on Tuesday 4th July 2017 at 8.00pm. Gay Hill will give a presentation entitled “100 Years of Electoral Reform in the West Midlands”. It is just over 100 years since the visit of influential suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst to Kidderminster to speak at the Corn Exchange in the town hall. She was campaigning for the vote to be given not only to the middle class but also extended to the working class. As you read this we will have just had a General Election and whatever the outcome it is a salutary thought that prior to electoral reform most of us would have taken no part in it.

Commences 8pm at St Saviour’s Church Hall, DY9 0NS. Visitors are most welcome at all our events – see Home page for details. Annual membership £10
