We now have a Facebook page for The Bedworth Society and Heritage Centre. Find out the latest news and photographs of old Bedworth.
Follow the link from the Facebook icon at the top of the page. We hope soon to have a link to a library of Flashback Fridays, so anyone without a Facebook account can see the items produced by John Burton.
As the local civic society, The Bedworth Society were offered a place on the board of Believe in Bedworth, who are responsible for overseeing how the £20 million awarded to Bedworth over the next 10 years can be spent.
Lynda Greasley usually attends the Believe in Bedworth meetings on behalf of The Bedworth Society, so if you have any queries, or ideas of a project you think the board should be looking at, please let Lynda Greasley know.
