Many Sibford residents knew Leslie Baily and assisted him in his researches for the Sibford History, which unfortunately was never finally written up before his death. However, his son, John, is about to start on that task.

Mr Frank Rollett draws our attention to the inauguration of an annual series of lectures for the Sibford Old Scholars Association, to be known as the Leslie Baily Lectures.

The first of these is to be an illustrated lecture by John Baily on a subject taken from his father’s research papers. It will take place in the School Main Hall on Saturday 27th August at 8.00 p.m.

Everyone interested is cordially invited to attend, even if not a member of the Association, and should contact Mr. Rollett in advance.
