Society Talks

Society Talks at the Library
(Page Last Updated 2nd November 2024)

For a number of years, the Westbury on Trym Society (WoTSoc) organised evening talks at the Village Hall. With the arrival of Covid, these were discontinued but they have now restarted!  These meetings are held in the Library on Falcondale Road, usually on Tuesday evenings, starting at 8:00pm and with doors open from 7:45. They are free to WoTSoc members and £2 for non-members – and you can become a member on the night!

For our November Talk, the Society is pleased to welcome Andy Renshaw who, as well as being Chairman of the Westbury on Trym Society, was a chartered town planner for 40 years. He will talk on how the world of town planning has changed over the years and his part in the profession, although he assures me his experience does not go back to the days of Machu Pichu!

Places are limited to a maximum of 45. To book yours, please email the society at westburyontrymsociety@gmail.com or ring Malcolm Neave on 01179502825.

Future talks include:

Tuesday January 28th : “Stoke Bishop: Bristol’s leafy Suburb” by Keith Sheather, local author and former BBC Producer who will present his new book on the history of Stoke Bishop. (Copies of Keith’s book will be on sale at the end and he will be pleased to sign them for you.)
