POSTPONEMENT of 40th West London Local History Conference

Celebrations and Commemorations to be held later in the year

Conference Postponed

This year's one-day Conference, on the theme of Celebrations & Commemorations, was to have been held on 21 March. In discussion with the University of West London where it had been arranged to take place, the consortium of local societies behind this event has agreed to postpone the Conference until the autumn.

The consortium is very sorry to have to disappoint potential participants in this way. Given the unpredictable rate of the spread of the Corona Virus, and in line with a number of other conference organisers, the feeling is that it would be irresponsible to go ahead and risk infecting the local history community in South and West London.

Tickets will still be valid for the new date and should be retained. Every effort will be made to let ticket-holders know the future arrangements when they have been agreed. Those who bought their tickets from one of the sponsoring societies should keep in touch with them regarding the plans for the re-scheduled event. Those who bought tickets by post will be contacted by the consortium's treasurer in the near future.

The organisers look forward to welcoming the many supporters once again later on in 2020.
