Historically the Society has organised two one-day meetings in various parts of the country each year, together with an Annual General Meeting in or near London during June or July. We are very sorry that this has not been possible since the Covid-19 restrictions were introduced in the spring 2020.
BUT there is always a silver lining and our Zoom meetings give many more members from all over the world a chance to attend and take part!


The next QFHS Zoom Meeting is at 7pm BST on the 20th April. There will be
- a short presentation by Charles E G Pease about his extensive family history website,
- and a talk by Antony Barlow about his book on his father's experience in the Friends Ambulance Unit during WW2.
There will be opportunities to ask questions after each one. This meeting is open to anyone. To book a place and get the link please contact Ben Beck at QFHS here secretary@qfhs.co.uk by midday on Tuesday 19th April.


2022 Zoom Annual General Meeting, Saturday 8th June 2022 at 7:00pm BST (19:00 UTC+1).
you will need to register to attend, so that you can be sure of receiving a Zoom link. Please email secretary@qfhs.co.uk to register.
