The Society will be holding its Christmas outing at Peckforton Castle. Di Carr has arranged for a tour of the Castle followed by lunch in the 2010 Brasserie.
It would be very helpful to the Castle staff if we could pre-order our meals.
Please click on Menu to see the Brasserie menu.
Could members please email Di (dianarcarr@btinternet.com) by 6th December to let her know you are coming and what you would like to eat.
Detailed timings will be published shortly.
Our next talk will be given by Clare Pye from Manchester Musuem. Clare will be looking at the progress of the Civil War, mostly from 1642-46,
emphasising the county's strategic importance in the national
struggle, but with a summary of 1646-59 looking ahead to Booth's
rebellion in 1659 in order to put that event in context.
Tiverton Village Hall, 7:30. All welcome.
