Those attending the Society\u2019s December meeting had a fabulous evening thanks to the return of Paul Harding and Helen Lee from Worcester-based Discover History<\/i>.\u00a0 Instead of the usual projected images, Paul used a series of artefacts to tell the tale of \u201cA Medieval Christmas\u201d in his usual mix of in-depth knowledge and humour.\u00a0 Firstly he dispelled many of the Hollywood myths concerning the etiquette of the period: it was far more civilised than we had been led to believe.\u00a0 We then learned about the type of food eaten (spread over an average of 26 courses!), the decorations and some of the traditions and sayings which still persist to this day (umble pie sounded a bit grim).\u00a0 Paul is a skilful presenter and had the audience is pleats of laughter for much of the evening; an evening which was rounded off by the consumption of some seasonal fare (although not to Medieval standards!).<\/p>\n

\u00a0Recently uploaded to the website (www.hhfs.org.uk<\/a>) is a section on the history of societies and organisations in the village \u2013 just follow \u2018Local History\u2019.\u00a0 2013 marks the 50th<\/sup> birthday of the Society and a series of special events will be held throughout the year to mark this milestone: details will be published on the website.<\/p>\n
