ROKER AND SEABURN by Philip Curtis

This is a change from the talk that was initially advertised. The original talk was on William Schaw Lindsay MP and was to be given by his great great grandson Bill Lindsay. The postponement has been forced owing to the severe weather warning issued this week. Bill resides in Hertfordshire and it is not advisable to make the four hour drive. We have therefore re-arranged the talk for April 2025. All other arrangements remain the same for Thursday. Doors open 6.40pm. talk commences 7.30pm and carriages are at 9pm. Please come along if you can and support the society. ALL WELCOME
