History and Heritage Group meets for their first time.

On Wednesday August 7th the newly founded FVH History and Heritage group met for the first time. Jan Wright stepped in at the last minute to host the group and was very impressed with the enthusiasm she found from the 10 people who came. Although Ford sits in a Glen that is rich in pre-history most of the  interest from the group was for modern history; both 17-18th century and recent social history. It is hoped that members of the group might be able to lead talks for the whole community on what they know, find ways to record local history so vital stories are not lost, make links to Kilmartin Museum and organise field trips to explore our locality.
