THE Byfleet Heritage Society 2021 Calendar, a landmark edition celebrating the society’s 25th anniversary, is now on sale. The calendars are £5 each.

“We’ve been doing the calendar for about 10 years now,” Jim Allen, the chairman of the society, said.

“We have a print run of 200 and would generally expect to sell about 170. It’s different this year, of course, and usually we’d be present at events and have a stall, but this time we can’t.

“We do have a very loyal readership through the Heritage Society, and they’ve been notified through our newsletter, but otherwise we’ve had to make arrangements to get the calendar to people in different ways.

“That’s been tricky in its own way too, with restricted opening hours for our outlets at the library, the Queen’s Head and St Mary's Centre for the Community.

“The money we raise through the calendar goes towards printing costs for our other publications. We have a wonderfully researched history, Byfleet: A Village of England, by LR Stevens, which is due a reprint, and we’d like to tie that to our anniversary.”
