WE ARE BACK!
Our in-person meetings resumed in September with the first talk by Andrew Negus, historian and blue badge guide, who gave the second talk in his series on the development of Portsmouth covering the period 1800-1870. The meeting report is now available.
The 2021-22 Programme is now available to view.
NEXT MEETING is on Tuesday 26 October when Dr John Mcaleer’s talk The East India Company: The corporation that changed the world will chart the growth of the company from its modest origins as a small Elizabethan trading venture, into a global empire. It is a story of wealth, power, and the pursuit of fortune. But it is also one of conflict, conquest, and piracy on the high seas; politics, intrigue, and ruthlessness on land.
