Residents learn about Romany roots
10:14am Tuesday 2nd September 2008
RESIDENTS learned all about Romany Gypsy culture and history during a special event in Redditch.
As a follow-on to Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month, the Eternal Wheels event was held at Arrow Valley Park.
The day, funded by a grant from Worcestershire County Council, allowed people to view, learn and interact with members of Romani Roots, a voluntary organisation that supports Gypsy heritage.
There were stalls at the event, various sources of information, entertainment and food.
