The following meeting, in December, will be our Christmas event when we will hope to meet live at Swarthmore Education Centre.  As well as having a live meeting, we hope to be able to distribute your copy of Medieval Yorkshire.  The Section has been left a collection of volumes by the late John Dixon, and they are being offered for sale initially to Section members.  Jo will be circulating the list of volumes and suggested prices in the next few days, and they will be sold on a first come-first served basis.  You can book your preference with me as soon as possible.  All of the donated books and the Medieval Yorkshire copies will be available for collection at the December meeting.  To avoid the Christmas post, the remaining order, and MY’s will be sent out after Christmas.  Postage will be added to the cost of the Dixon volumes.

The remaining books from John Dixon will then be offered to YAHS members in the New Year, and to booksellers in February.
