Ancient World
At King George V Centre, postcode WR4 9TL on Mon at 1400hr.
Leader and Contact: Ray Aspden
The new season starts at 2 pm on Monday 12 September 2022, and fortnightly thereafter until the end of March 2023, at the KGV Pavilion, Brickfields Road, where there’s ample off-road parking. The formula remains the same: lavish PowerPoint presentations, with optional audience participation, about the people and places of Antiquity, either side of a tea & biscuit(s) break.
The Group began in 2008 and never seems to be short of subject matter. This season, now that lockdowns and ageing has brought an end to my study tours abroad, I'll be doing archaeology on my hard drive to revisit some favourite talks of the past, with Syria and Mexico to the fore.
We meet every fortnight on a Monday afternoon, September to March 2-4 pm.
September 12 26, October 10 24, November 07 21, December 05 19, January 16 30, February 13 27 and March 13 27.
No meeting in April due to Bank Holiday.
