Meeting Schedule
Lecture: Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements in the Welsh Borders.
Date: 4th February 2010
Speaker: John Halstead
John, had been involved in the excavation of pit alignments, in the Four Crosses area, finding late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age dating evidence. The dating of such features, regarded as boundary markers, has been much debated.
Lecture: The Wrekin.
Date: 4th March 2010
Speaker: George Evans
George is not only a foremost authority on the Wrekin but had been prominent in efforts to preserve it from the careless beaurocratic degradation to which it is peculiarly vulnerable. The Wrekin is not only the highest hill in the vicinity of Telford but a very conspicuous local landmark, once known locally as Mount Gilbert.
Society Annual General Meeting
Followed by
Lecture: The Wrekin Brewery.
Date: 1st April 2010
Speaker: Allan Frost
Allan spoke to us last year about the Wellington authoress Hesba Stretton, and we have every reason to expect this year’s contribution, also on a Wellington subject, to be equally enthralling.
Lecture: The Holyhead Road.
Date: 6th May 2010
Speaker: Neil Clarke
As one of our own members, Neil is a particularly welcome speaker. There is just one problem about this meeting: if it is decided to hold a General Election on this date, we will have to rearrange the programme to leave the hall free to be a polling station; but we will meet that hurdle when we come to it.
