The Time Travel Challenge - Tuesday Feb 5th

Personally, I'd be tempted to go back to visit Norwich Castle
in, say, 1450 and talk to the prisoners who were carving figures
like this one... but I can't make my mind up!

Imagine you have a time machine and you have one return journey to go and visit Norwich at any point in its history: 

  • What period/year would you travel back to?
  • Where in the city would you go to?
  • Why?

That is what we are going to discuss in groups at the next meeting of the History Club. 

I've 'played' this game before, and it's a really good way:
(a) To make you think about what really matters to you historically
(b) For us to get to know more about each others interests
(c) For us to interact and get to know each other better

It's not a test or a trial. In my experience, folk always end up having a good laugh doing this one. It also helps me plan a programme of activities that satisfies members interests.
