ABOUT BAGILLT HISTORY CLUB
Bagillt History Web Site is run by the people of Bagillt for the people of our village or anyone world wide who has connections with Bagillt.
Please feel free to contact us if we can help you with your research on Bagillt or you have information, photographs, etc. you think may be of interest to us.
As a club we meet on the First Thursday of the Month, 7pm to 9pm, at Beechcroft House next to theBowling Green , Bagillt.
Our aim is for like minded people who are interested in the History of Bagillt to come together to enjoy and share their memories of days gone by.
We hold a large collection of old Photographs of Bagillt and its people and, with the help of computers, we can now show them on the big screen to our members.
On alterative months we have guest speakers covering a variety of subjects (when ever possible, all with Bagillt connections).
The club has a selection of publications available and it is hoped in the near future to have a new book "Bagillt Through The Ages - 2nd addition".
New Members always welcome.
