Phew – it is so wet and cold – come and get warm & dry !

Come for a free cuppa tomorrow (28th January) and listen to Andy Fox telling you how to “Safeguard yourself from fraud”.

It is all happening in the St James Church Room, Wetherby commencing at 9.45 am.

Last week we heard Brian Hull giving a presentation of Lord Armstrong the nineteenth century pioneering engineer. The talk featured many images of his industrial achievements and concluded with an exploration around the estate at Cragside, Rothbury, Northumberland and the famous house.

Included were explanations of the ground breaking “Armstrong gun”, a highly innovative field artillery piece featuring the barrel comprised of successive layers of wrought iron, a breech loading mechanism, giving a manoeuvrable weapon, in stark contrast to the heavy artillery in use during the Crimea War, for which his invention was designed to supplant.

Don’t miss this week’s presentation – see you there ! !
