We are grateful for our Chairman, Geoff Pettinger, for volunteering to give a talk next Wednesday, 6 July. The subject of Geoff's talk will be "The Silk Road" and he will describe the development of trade between China and Europe from 130 BC and the consequences arising from this, such as the introduction of silk, paper and gunpowder, and the rise and fall of the great trading cities like Samarkand.
The talk on Wednesday, 6 July, was due to be about Exeter’s Mediaeval Exe Bridge and was to be given by Bill Ford. Unfortunately Bill will be unable to give the talk on this day but we hope to be able to arrange for it to be given later in the year.
