Delegates from the FoSJP History Research Group met on Tuesday 5th and Tuesday 19th March with a team from Shirley Infant School and Shirley Junior School. Proposals are being developed to collate the Shirley Schools Centenary information into a celebration book.
Members of the FoSJP History Research Group are currently researching material towards FoSJP's book of the history of St.James' Park and towards future public talks.
A fifth series of FoSJP History Autumn Talk Series starts in October - confirmed speakers and topics to follow. See the Public History Talks section on our Shirley Heritage Project page for more information.
