Ryan put on a very successful Jurassic Exhibition, and hopes his new exhibition, "What's your game?". will be even better. The exhibition opened on 30 January, and will be open on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10.30am until 1.00pm. The exhibition is very much interactive, and as well as the traditional games of chess and noughts and crosses, you can have a go at Shove H'penny and more modern electronic games. Come along and remember all those games you played - and learn some new ones.
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.
The Bedworth Society has no paid staff - we are all volunteers.
If you would like to join our volunteers, please contact Lynda Burton on 0770 7093335 or email
You may like to help steward in the Heritage Centre or help serve refreshments after the meetings. Perhaps you have IT skills and could help maintain the website.
We would love to hear from you.
