Research discussion meetings

Image is Bradnor Hill Common where there is a right to maintain a golf course. It’s the highest golf course in the UK and this is a view towards Hay Bluff. This commonland is owned/managed by The National Trust.

The Saturday meetings at Herefordshire Archive and Records Centre (HARC) are to informally feedback your findings and progress about the common you are investigating to the group. I have called them drop in sessions to allow for the fact that realistically participants won’t be able to come to every single one over the year of the study. However, the group discussion is important for my research for data gathering, so please come to as many as you can. I will also occasionally include speakers on particular topics. I have arranged two meetings on the Saturdays to allow everyone the chance to speak. You only need to attend one of them unless you wish to stay to both! You may wish to book a separate time to access the archives.
