Projects
As well as its well attended monthly speaker meetings, TADS also has an active research element. The Society has a Project Group that co-ordinates and promotes this work. The group hold regular meetings at which research topics are discussed and information exchanged. It also oversees the publication of projectnews (see below) which draws together articles and news on research done by the members.

TADS research newsletter, projectnews, is published twice a year and the current issue (number 14) is available to collect free of charge from the following local outlets: Tadley Library, Tadley Community Centre, Adrian Noad Property Services, Poulters, Profile Print and Copy and Baughurst Post Office.
If you would like to receive regular copies and are unable to obtain them from one of the local outlets, please contact our Distribution Officer, at Tadley and District History Society, PO Box 7264, Tadley RG26 3FA, United Kingdom.

Information required
Blue Gown
Does any one know the whereabouts of the picture of the Derby winner Blue Gown? Thought to have been at one time hanging in Hawley House. After some research we know that there was a picture and that it was probably sold through Sotherby's. The jockey was 'Tiny' Wells.
The Tadley Roll
There are written reports that a long roll was drawn during the early days of the Tadley School including pictures of many of the then local characters. Probably similar in style to the Bayeux tapestry. This is a long shot but a constant one as it keeps cropping up. If you know of it or about it, or have heard of it please tell us. If we ever find it we would dearly like to photograph it for future reference.
Are you researching a Tadley family?
If so then please contact us, as we will help if we can and of course any information you can give us would be most welcome. TADS operates a 'permission only' system with regard to any information given to the Society. Should we be given any material, artefact or information it goes into TADS archive and is only used for any purpose after permission is given by the donor.
