The speaker on Wednesday 19 March will be John Letts, who will talk on the History of Thatching, its materials and techniques, and how it is progressing today.
At the start of the New Year members enjoyed the lively and informative talk on the Romans in Britain, given by Bill King. He was particularly good on the invasions, starting with Julius Caesar in 55BC, and the opposition in some areas, notably by Boudicca (Boadicea). We still use roads that the Romans built, among them the nearby Fosse Way which runs in a straight line from Exeter to Lincoln and the Humber.
Meetings start at 8pm(doors open at 7.30) in the Jubilee Hall, and end with coffee and friendly discussion.
Visitors are very welcome(entry £2.50).
