SALTBURN DISTRICT u3a LOCAL HISTORY LECTURES

Guisborough u3a members are also invited to attend.

The talks are interesting, stimulating and thought provoking! No need to book, please just come along and enjoy them.

13 March. Steve Frost. The Castle Eden Branch line, built to move minerals to Teesside. During his talk, Steve will look at the high quality of engineering of the route, the reasons for building the line and what happened next.

10 April. Richard Lewis. Richard will be giving his new talk about Sir John Harvey Jones (Trouble Shooter) and Marion Coates Hansen, a key figure in the women's suffrage movement. Born into the well-to-do Coates family, Marion spent most of her life in Middlesbrough. She was drawn to socialism through her association with Joseph Fels, the American industrialist and social reformer for whom she worked as a nanny in Philadelphia in the early 1890s.

8 May. Richard Barber. Heritage Officer, National Railway Museum.

12 June. A guided tour of Loftus, part 1. More details nearer the time. If the weather is awful, this guided tour will default automatically to 10 July.

11 September.
9 October.
13 November.

Members are also invited to attend Guisborough u3a's 5th Wednesday talks, 2pm, Sunnyfield House, 36 Westgate. £1.50.

29 May. Steve Frost. I enjoyed Steve's "Tales of the Rails" so much last year, that I've invited him to give the same presentation to Guisborough. If you missed Steve's talk at Saltburn, please take the opportunity to join us in Guisborough. It's a very interesting compilation of Tales.

31 July. Jennifer Creek. Volunteering in Disaster Preparedness and Response. This talk is based on her experience of supporting occupational therapists in the Philippines in their work of responding to natural disasters and building resilience in communities. She includes some general information about the prevalence and impact of natural disasters and suggests how we might all be better prepared.

30 October.
