🎄 FHSC Christmas Quiz – A Festive Evening of Family History Fun! 🎄
Join us for our annual FHSC Christmas Quiz, a relaxed and enjoyable evening packed with festive cheer, friendly competition, and the occasional genealogical challenge!
Whether you're a seasoned family historian, a quiz enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun way to spend an evening with fellow members, there's something for everyone. Don't worry if you don't know all the answers, the quiz is all about taking part, sharing a few laughs, and enjoying the company of friends old and new.
As in previous years, we'll be using Zoom breakout rooms, giving everyone the chance to work together in small teams. It's a wonderful way to meet fellow members from across Cheshire and beyond, combine your knowledge, and enjoy plenty of conversation along the way. Many members tell us that the team discussions are just as much fun as the quiz itself!
We'll be mixing Christmas trivia, family history questions, general knowledge, and a few surprises along the way. Teams will be organised on the night, so all you need to do is join us and we'll take care of the rest.
So put on your favourite Christmas jumper, pour yourself a seasonal drink, and join us for what has become one of the highlights of the FHSC calendar.
Good company, plenty of laughs, a chance to make new friends, and absolutely no homework required!

FHSC Seminars: ‘A strange thing happened on the way to the Police Station’. An A-Z of funny stories and anecdotes with Martin Gaffney
Something a bit different this month. As the title suggests this is an A-Z of funny stories seen from the Police service to the public. Martin says: ‘As they say, "nothing as strange as folk" and believe me you could not 'script' some of the activities.’
A time to laugh a time to cry, a time to live and a time to die. You experience every aspect of human life as a police officer and Martin has been sharing those experiences with audiences across the county and on cruise ships. Although the subjects appear serious, Martin says, every story contains humour/human nature and intriguing true life events. This should be an entertaining and light heart evening. So, register today and sit back for a relaxed evening.
