A (His)story timeline

How to show the ins and outs of a 160 year old parish?
In a few weeks time, we have another meeting to determine the parish 's direction, but first you need to know where you have come from.
Today was a chance to flesh out the bare dates with stories of hard work and fellowship. The final poster will be easily 7 or 8 metres long!
Regardless of the reason, the chance for the oldies to tell their stories, and show their photos was golden. Something I shall definitely repeat again.
