THE local studies department of Huddersfield Public Library hopes to start a Lunchtime Club.

It is intended to be an informal meeting for people interested in local and family history.

To launch the group, a town centre walk will be held on Wednesday, September 15, led by local historian and local studies librarian Lesley Kipling.

It starts from the library foyer at 1pm and will last between 90 minutes and two hours.

Booking is essential. To register an interest in the club, or to book a place on the walk, call at the Local Studies Library or phone 01484 221965.
