We meet on the morning of the 3rd Friday of each month and take it in turns to choose an historical subject, research it and prepare a talk on it. Our hosts for the monthly meeting are the Wimborne Care Home - we meet in their conservatory where we have comfy chairs and are kindly supplied with tea, coffee and biscuits, all for a subscription of £1 per session.
We have to admit that the research sometimes only extends as far as printing and reading out a piece from History Reclaimed!
Recent topics have included The Last Days of the Ottoman Empire, The History of Racism, Rorke's Drift, Margaret Thatcher, the Zinoviev Letter, the Portsmouth Forts, the Battle of Trafalgar, Dick Whittington, Queen Victoria and the Irish Famine.
