The radio and television often invite circle participants to tell their stories. One of the aims of study circle activities is for the members to enjoy themselves. We do not expect every circle to get through every item of our somewhat lengthy questionnaires. First and foremost we expect them to choose the things that appeal to the entire circle or to individual members. The people in each circle work either individually or in groups.
People do enjoy themselves, and one finds that all the questions are covered sooner or later.
A genuine feeling for your own home village and its history has been brought to life. Some villages have organised their own museums, or started local history societies. Amongst the more important results is the strengthening of the identity of villagers. A book presenting the history of the village is something to take pride in. It proves that an ordinary village can produce its own history.
