So a very extensive and far reaching programme. Full information about all the talks can be found under the 'What We Do' drop down menu above, option 'Talks', where you can download all the details.
The Society has recently completed the repair of 5 benches around the town. Details can be found under the 'What We Do' drop down menu above option 'Town Benches'.
We have also been busy as a committee during the lockdown and have produced a newsletter highlighting some of the things we have achieved and a few thoughts on the future. You can find out more details by clicking here and here.
