The Society runs an annual programme of six talks on the second Thursdays of alternate months. These are usually held at the Yew Tree Hall in High Lorton, starting at 7.30pm. Our AGM in June is followed by a member's talk.
Other activities are listed and described below the programme.
Visit to Ravenglass Roman Bath House and Hardknott Fort.
We are planning to visit to these two locations on September 11. Our guide for the day will be Alan Airey, a member of the Society who is a qualified guide for the Roman sites in west Cumbria. We will travel by coach from Lorton to Ravenglass, where we will have a guided tour round the ruins of the bath house. We shall then have lunch in a local hostelry, and in the afternoon Alan will guide us round Hardknott fort and the parade ground above it. Details are not yet finalised, but the cost is anticipated to be £20. To reserve a place, please phone me on 01946 861555
