FOHWL Events
 

The Friends of High Wycombe Libraries organise various events during the year.   Details of the forthcoming events can be viewed by clicking here or by scrolling down this page.      

In the past, talks have covered such diverse subjects as "Morse & Me," "Deserts & Dhows," "History of the Stagecoach" and "Buying & Selling Antiques" with all talks being given by people who are authorities on their particular subject. Visits have also been made to the Bucks. Museum Resource Centre, The Stewart Linford Furniture Factory Museum and the Charles Dickens Museum. A list of the events held during the past twelve months can be seen by clicking here.

The main activity undertaken is a series of talks held  in the main Library building. These are held once a month on a Wednesday evening from September to May.

The Programme Secretary goes to a great deal of trouble to organise a diverse range of topics so as to encourage a cross section of High Wycombe society including minority groups to attend the meetings and enjoy the talks.

In addition to the regular monthly talks, Friends hold two other evening events every year.  One is  the AGM. The other, usually in November, is a Quiz Night. We also hold fund-raising, coffee mornings on a Saturday, from time to time, in the Library.

We are always looking to add other activities to our list so if you have some ideas and would be willing to help us organise them, please contact the Chairman in the first instance.
