The
next meeting at Irene's house, on Wednesday 13th
January 2010 at 7.30pm,
will be a group discussion on Tom Paine.
We meet every six weeks or
so, usually on a Wednesday
evening, at one of our members' houses.
At our meetings one of our number gives a talk on a historical subject
of particular interest to him/her for about forty minutes, then we have
a discussion about what we have heard.
We currently have fourteen members but new recruits are always welcome.
It is not compulsory to give talks so don’t be put off coming
by
thinking that you will have to perform.
At each meeting we decide on a speaker, subject
and venue for the following meeting.
