Pals will be pleased to hear that with proceeds from funds we have installed a brand new 8ft screen and blackout blinds to the rear of the casemate so all ready for Andy's talk on the 13th! There are only 20 tickets left I think so be quick!

Also I should remind everyone that ticket prices include museum entrance so you can enjoy the entire collection.

See you on the 13th and please PM me with topics/suggestions for our 2013 series which will begin in April 2013.

Cheers
Ryan

Thank you Michael and everyone for making one (or more) of these inaugural talks.

We are planning next year and some of 2014 already and hope to make an announcement in the next month or so with a provisional programme to run April to October/November.

Cheers

I managed to get to all three. Was impressed how each speaker had such a great expertise and the ability to deliver a fascinating talk. Also the diversity of the topics was good, and the events were well advertised .
It would be great to feature a talk on Gallipoli or Salonika, or other Great War topic not do with the Western Front in 2013 season. Do you think that this would be feasible ?
Regards
Michael
