In May, Shirley Hodgson gave us an illustrated talk on the story of "The Formidable", an early 19th century warship that was
moored off Portishead and used for many years as an industrial school for poor and homeless boys - an unusual and
fascinating story.
At our meeting on 21 July, Victoria Bowerman will be speaking to us about the subject of researching local history through old
maps. We meet at 8pm. at the URC Chapel. Everyone welcome.
