The BNRA’s forthcoming series of talks will start again this September.
Come along to Sturdy’s Castle on Sunday 20th September for our first talk of the season.
We have author, and member, Richard Holme coming along to talk about his latest book on Harry Pound, and his ship breaking businees. With he sad news about the potential demolition of HMS President (1918) this will be a good talk for developing discussions.
Joining Richard will be Steve Jones, who is coming to speak about the famous chain makers Brown Lennox & Co.
Aim to arrive for 10.00 am with the talks starting at 10.30, and don’t forget to stay for lunch afterwards.
The committee are all looking forward to seeing you on the day.
