The group began in 1973 as an adult evening class sponsord by the Workers Education Association. This met in the Percival Guildhouse - Rugby's independent adult education centre. The evening classes lasted for about 6 years building up a small group of regulars.
When the formal classes stopped the regulars continued to meet as an independent group at the Guildhouse and have continued to the present. The groups principal activity is mutual support in furthering the research of the individual members. However work as a group occurs when a suitable project is identified.
The group meets at 8pm on Tuesday Evenings at the Guildhouse during the Autumn and Winter terms. During the Summer term visits to local places of interest are arranged.
