A NEWLY formed historical society is looking for a place to exhibit artifacts, maps and photographs.
That was one of the priorities raised at the first annual meeting of Cefn Mawr Historical Society, held at the George Edwards Hall, Well Street, on May 17.
The group, formed in October last year, also hopes to stage a programme of events over the next year after a new committee is formed.
Since its formation a steering group had already overseen the setting up of a bank account, a website and a constitution.
Local patron, Judge Geoffrey Kilfoil, has also been installed as president.
Chairman Ian Parry told the group the newly elected committee ?must, as a priority, compile a comprehensive programme of events for the coming year?.
It would also be ?advantageous? if the society could secure an office or small building in which to stage exhibitions, he said.
?The history of Wales is very deeply rooted in local history, and that local history is something added to the life and imagination of everyone in the village of Cefn Mawr and District,? he said.
Treasurer Rhona Roberts told the society it was currently in an excellent financial position.
Three short films on local railways were presented by society archivist Howard Paddock, including stations and halts on the Ruabon-Barmouth line and railways in and around Cefn Mawr.
The first meeting of the newly elected Cefn Mawr Historical Society committee will be held at the George Edwards Hall tomorrow, at 7pm.
