The meeting will be held in the Institute, West Cowick at 7pm on Thursday, March 9.

At the last meeting of the club, held on Thursday, February 9, Tony Saxton delivered a talk on the subject of Women at War. The talk covered a range of subjects including the role of women in medieval warfare, the story of the “Radium Girls’ and the role of women in the Second World War. The meeting was attended by a bumper turnout and a good time was had by all. Everyone is welcomed to attend the next meeting, which is £3 for members and £4 for visitors.
