Meetings
As it is not feasible to hold in-person meetings, the WHS are running all meetings using Zoom for the foreseeable future.
The report on October’s talk by Helen Talbot on Growing up in Hundred Acres is now available.
At our November meeting, Dr Cheryl Butler gave a talk on Hampshire & the New World: The Mayflower Beyond, the story of Hampshire’s early links with the New World including tales of exploration, pilgrims, witchcraft, four Indian Kings, the birth of an empire and of course fish!. The meeting report will be available soon.
The next meeting is on Tuesday 8 December when our speaker will be weatherman Ian Currie – he correctly forecast the storm of 1987 – who will deliver a seasonal talk Frost, Freezes & Fairs. We shall hear about 1000 years of famous winters when rivers, including the mighty Thames, froze and remarkable events took place on the ice.
Note: This is a joint meeting with the Wickham Society and is the second Tuesday of the month.
