Local and Family History:  This is our latest proposed new group. It welcomes people with an interest in undertaking family history or local history in its many forms. Islington is a wonderful place to study history with two major archives and a museum located here and easy access to others nearby. The meetings (monthly) will include visits to archives and museums and informal group sessions where members discuss research they wish to undertake or work in progress in a local venue; local guest speakers will be invited to share their expertise. No research experience is required. The aim is to encourage people to ‘have a go’ and for more experienced members to share ideas and knowledge. If you'd like to find out more please contact Lisa at: groups.iu3a@gmail.com

Music, World Music and Dance: The idea behind this group is that it is for members who enjoy world music and dance. This can involve participating in and/or spectating world music and dance events. What is envisaged is a group which is open to an unlimited number of people. Any member of the group who knows about a gig or a dance will share the details to all group members, plus possibly do a poll to see who would like to go. Examples of suitable and relevant events: London Bulgarian Choir singing in concert in May, Southwark Cathedral; and Balkan dancing at Cecil Sharp House with live Balkan band and dances being taught, Camden.
