Monthly Meetings
Each month (except August) we have a Monthly Meeting at which a guest speaker gives an illustrated presentation, which is open to members and non-members.
Topics range far and wide from, for example, climate change to art history, hidden London to how to avoid being scammed – and everything in between.
Join us on the first Thursday of the month at Ewen Hall, Wood Street, Barnet EN5 4BW for coffee/tea from 9.30am. The presentations start at 10.30am. It’s also an opportunity to meet other members and sign up for our groups and outings.
Forthcoming talks:
5 September:
Barnet during the Civil War 1642 – 1660
Yasmine Webb, local historian and volunteer at Barnet Museum, will share her recent research into Barnet during the English Civil War 1642-1660. How did this time of huge political and social change impact on the area, and did it affect the lives and fortunes of our local ancestors?
3 October:
Theatrical London
Blue Badge Tour Guide Diane Burstein will treat us to a journey through the colourful history of London theatre – from Shakespeare’s playhouses to restoration drama, from Shaftesbury Avenue’s Victorian theatres right up to the birth of the Fringe and the current vogue for site-specific theatre in unusual venues. Plus some entertaining anecdotes about theatrical personalities, traditions and superstitions. (Don’t mention the Scottish play…)
