The Group

Meetings and events are arranged on a monthly basis with speakers talking on subjects of general and particularly local interest or organised activities and visits.

The administration of the group is carried out by a committee in  accordance with a written constitution. This includes making arrangements for speakers, visits, research and other projects. seeking the views of the membership and setting up the general infrastructure.

This website covers information from meetings etc and continues to include posts covering our up to date research. The Facebook page “Bisley History Group” is a major source of material.

Ian Edmunds set up and manages this website and is the originator and administrator of the Facebook page.

See the EVENTS section for our future activities.

Ashmolean Museum Outing

Our trip to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford to see the Last Supper in Pompeii exhibition was successful in all ways. The coach arrived early and enabled immediate boarding on a bitterly cold morning. The exhibition experience was summed up by Jane Bentley as follows:

Dr Paul Roberts gave us a splendid tour. He spoke with such passion and knowledge; I found his descriptions riveting. The exhibits took on a life of their own, set in the context of life in Pompeii, and I was intrigued to see how many objects we could recognise and use today. I’ve been to Pompeii a couple of times and love wandering through the back streets and out to the amphitheatre, but of course none of the objects are there, which made this such a special exhibition.
