European History
Co-ordinator: Philip Heyes and Kathy Webster
Meetings: 1st Friday, Monthly, September -July 10.00am - 12 noon, Abbot Hall Social Centre
This group studies the history of European countries. Over the past 12 months we have studied the history of the Netherlands from early times up to and including the Second World War.
Starting on 1 Sept. and continuing to 6 Oct. we shall complete the history of the Netherlands in the post-war era and up to recent times.
Beginning in November we shall be exploring the history of our closest neighbour, Scotland, beginning in Roman times, then through the Middle Ages to the House of Stuart and on to the union of the Crowns in 1603 and eventually the present United Kingdom.
Be assured that this won’t all be about dates, kings and personalities, we also have talks on sport, food and music, given by group members with particular interest in those areas.
