Hello everyone - sharing the below on behalf of Tim Barnes/The Greenwich Society: The Greenwich Society is organising four conversations with distinguished residents this Spring. The first conversation is on Thursday 19th February, 7pm at St Alfege Church Hall. The remaining conversations will be in March, April and May. The last of the conversations is with Veronica Sefton, the CO Woolwich Barracks, and is likely to be in the restored Officers Mess at the Barracks which would be a great venue. The remaining ones are likely to be at St Alfege Church Hall. The first of these conversations will be with Matthew Pennycook MP. More information may be found by clicking here .

Sharing on behalf of Barbara Reid and Lynne Dixon: Join us to share the stories of remarkable women who have lived in Greenwich in the past. Not just the famous but also the forgotten including activists, scientists, entrepreneurs, as well as writers, mothers and carers. This community project has discovered dozens of stories of remarkable women. Our enthusiastic volunteers have researched their stories, and will share some of them at this celebration.

Hello everyone - sharing on behalf of Barbara Reid: The next local history group talk will be on Thursday 26 February at 7.30pm in the lovely West Greenwich Library.  Our speaker is David Whittaker. Many of you will remember David’s last talk on the lost pubs of Greenwich. This talk is on W.A. Wilson, Temperance Brewer.  David says:   The Wilson family lived on Egerton Drive between about 1914 and 1954. William Anthony Wilson founded the company in Nottingham, moving to London and opening his works at Eastney Street in East Greenwich. The talk includes information on the family, the factory and the drinks it produced, and considers these in the context of the temperance movement in Greenwich. Thanks to all of you who came to Lynn Dixon’s fascinating talk in November and I want to say a big thank you to all our speakers who volunteer their time and research so that these talks are available for everyone to attend for free. ...
