We have the following opportunities available please contact secretary@dgfhs.org.uk if interested.

TREASURER

After a number of years of dedicated service to the Society our treasurer has moved away from the area. The Society requires a member to volunteer to take over this role. The outgoing treasurer is willing to brief any member interested in filling this position.

VOLUNTEERS

We urgently require volunteers. Due to the retiral of two of our volunteers we are appealing for some new people to come forward. If you are interested in Family History and have a few hours to spare, have you thought of becoming a volunteer in the Research Centre? You will be made most welcome. Training will be given.
