The Colchester Civic Society is 50 years old this year! Members celebrated at a birthday party held at the Upper Bowls Pavilion in Castle Park on Saturday 14th June and then, again, at the Society’s Annual General Meeting at the Colchester Officers’ Club at the end of June. Needless to say, there was a birthday cake, complete with candles, on each occasion! The AGM was followed by a talk by John Ashdown-Hill, who spoke about Colchester Martyrs, giving us much food for thought.
