There has been a change to this month’s planned talk at Mexborough & District Heritage Society.

Mick Brand will now speak about the Victoria Cross Trust at Mexborough Athletic Club, New Oxford Road, Mexborough, on Wednesday 25 February, starting at 7.30pm. This replaces the scheduled talk on The Don Gorge and River, by the Don Catchment River Trust, which will now take place at the same venue and time on Wednesday 25 March 2026.

Mick said: “I will discuss the Victoria Cross Trust, what we do, talk about Doncaster’s Victoria Cross recipients and also bring along some items from either our World War 1 or World War 2 Touching History display that attendees can handle. I also encourage attendees to bring along any related items they may have to join in the discussion.”

All welcome. Pay on the door - admission £1.50 for society members; £2.50 non-members. Membership available on the night.
