When: On Monday mornings 10:00 am-12:00 pm
Weeks 1 & 3
Venue: Porthcawl YMCA

Led by Andrew Collier the group meets 1st & 3rd Monday 10 a.m. in the YMCA.

They discuss the planned topic, often British, bringing in local details, but from time to time deliberately looking at the history of other countries and regions. Everyone chips in and the regular, scurrilous humour is sometimes even funny.

This month:

Looking at the History of other countries, probably Greece, but hoping that Peter will soon be fit to resume his Local, very local, Government talk.
13th April 202610 a.m.
27th April 202610 a.m.

All welcome, with extra snippets of info and comments particularly appreciated.
