The lecture by Hugh Williams proved to be a great success and one of those who attended had this to say:
‘The talk was very interesting, well researched over many years and with up to the minute comments on recent developments. He is very knowledgeable on the subject dealing fully and in some commendable detail with all the questions at the end.’
As usual the refreshments and raffle rounded off yet another great evening.

The forecast of storms, wind and rain did not stop a good turnout for the lecture. David Hunt gave an interesting tour of various National Trust sites from around the country; from buildings, coastal areas and rivers to windmills and more. We learnt about the importance of these sites and the work the National Trust does in maintaining and preserving them. A big thanks to David for his presentation.
The evening had a great Christmassy feel to it with mulled wine and mince pies plus a raffle with some great prizes.
Libya’s heritage held all those who attended in awe of its archaeology. Pam gave a guided pictorial tour through Libya, starting out from Tripoli and its Roman and Byzantine legacy, through the deserts and returning to the coast near Benghazi and Cyrene where much of the archaeology was of Greek origin. We saw stunning mosaics, sculptures, cave paintings and carvings; had a glimpse of Libya’s World Heritage sites, cities and fortresses.
Pam travelled the length and breadth of Libya over a three-week period discovering how extensive the archaeology is in Libya. Her photography of the many sites and artefacts gave a clear insight into a part of Libya hidden from view for many of us. A place to visit in the future one hopes.
