In recent weeks Forum members have enjoyed the usual high quality of talks. Memorable among these were a talk about the explorer who travelled the world to learn all he could about indigo, a talk about how an Exeter family had eveolved over the years from very humble beginnings, and a talk about how keyboard music eveolved over the centuries which was illustrated by works from Bird via Handel and Mozart through to Satie played for us on the piano.
| In parallel with the talks members also enjoyed some walks. One of these was between Newton Poppleford and Tipton St John.  |   |
 | Another of the walks led us around North Tawton and its hinterland, taking us past some interesting properties in the area, one of which was an impressive Norwegian house moved here in flat pack form over 100 years ago. |
In addition a coach trip to Bristol and the SS Great Britain was organised, and some 40 members took advantage of that. Besides several hours ona comprehensive tour of the ship, there was also time to take in some of Bristol's other offerings, such as the Museum and Art Gallery and the Royal West of England Academy.
