Society Talks at the Library
(Page Last Updated 2nd September 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 Thursday 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!
Our first talk, From Pen to Print given by Gordon Young, was held on May 23rd and had an attendance of about 35. Details of our next talks are posted below and emailed to members as soon as they are available.
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.
