Toby Driver U-Tube talk – Archaeology of the Gwent Levels
Blog
We had a good turn-out in the Borough Theatre for our second lecture of the season in October which was Mike Barker talking about the Tramroads of the Forest of Dean.
This month our lecture will be held at the Melville Centre and will be available to our members sitting in the comfort of their homes, via Zoom. Many of our members prefer not to have to venture out on dark evenings but for the others, seats may be booked in advance for the Melville Centre. We have occasionally had members turn up at the Borough Theatre, but the current information is always available on our website as well as in our monthly email.
If you haven’t read it yet, don’t forget to download Tails and Trails, our latest children's story book. You can download your copy here.
