Conversations with Distinguished Judges - Save The Dates!

Image
Hello everyone - sharing the below on behalf of Tim Barnes, member of the Executive Committee of the Greenwich Society (with oversight of matters concerning events, planning, traffic and transport). ------------- A few years back the Greenwich Society and the University of Greenwich jointly organised some popular lectures on the Rule of Law given by some distinguished speakers. We have decided to re-instate this type of event in the New Year but the format will be different. Instead of a lecture, there will be a conversation with a quartet of Distinguished Judges. As I know all those who have agree to participate on a personal basis, I have decided that I will be the interlocutor. But there will be an opportunity for all those in the audience to ask questions at the end of the conversation and a chance to talk informally with the Judge at the end of the event. The Conversations will take place in the Stockwell Street Lecture Theatre on the last Wednesdays of January, February, March ...

Shared on behalf of Barbara Reid, the ATA's History contact... Happy New Year to you all! And I hope our next talk will bring some light to the long, dark evenings. As you know we had to cancel this talk in November but we have a new date, it’s  Thursday 23 January  7.00pm  at   our lovely   West Greenwich Library.  Our speaker is David Whittaker. The title of David's talk is:  Lost pubs of Greenwich:  Maidenstone Hill and Blackheath Hill. The talk will be looking at the 13 pubs, from coaching inns to beer houses, in this small locality of Greenwich, that have opened and closed over the years. We'll be investigating what these places were like, who used them, why they might (or might not) be missed, and why they ended up disappearing, with some context covering licensing laws, local drinking habits and the temperance movement.  PLEASE NOTE this is an earlier start time of 7.00pm.  David’s talk will last 45 to 50 minutes and he ...
