Whiting Bay Memories facebook group

This popular group now has over one thousand members! members are invited to contribute their pictures, ask questions, share their memories and enjoy lots of interaction.

To advance the group, the organisers decided to formalise it, and allow our contributed items to be made more accessible to all. Also to allow a more indepth look at the village, to compliment our facebook group and deliver some of our benefits on a more regular basis. In summary we decided not to leave our memories in boxes for a couple of years! Now we look forward to sharing more memories with you through this site.

In March 2019 we constituted our group, with the following objects;
