March Guest Speaker

The next History Society is Wednesday 9th March evening and will be held in person at the Civic Centre this month for the first time since Covid. The talk is by author Sharon Wright and is on the tragic tale of Lily Cove the lady balloonist. Sharon will also be selling her books on the night. Sharon is also the author of the Mother of the Brontes if any of you were lucky enough to catch her talk on the subject a couple of years ago.

Non-members are welcome to attend for a fee of £3.00 per person (payable on the door) but places must be booked in advance as we are keeping an eye on numbers to ensure people can socially distance comfortably in they wish. Unfortunately if you don’t email to book we can’t guarantee a place on the night. To reserve a place, please email klyhistory@yahoo.com

We will be encouraging the wearing of masks and maintaining a social distance by spacing the chairs out at the venue. The meeting opens at 7pm for a 7:30pm start. Please don’t arrive before 7pm as the doors will not open until then. Please note that we won’t be serving tea/coffee but you are welcome to bring a flask!
