Members' Evening of Short Talks

After the successf of last year's experiment, we repeated our January alternative to a full lecture, with an evening is devoted to short talks giving members an opportunity to address favourite subjects, share enthusiasms, outline early research or simply fly architectural-historical kites.

Topics ranged from the 18th century to our own times, from vernacular to highly formal and to the unexpected. Speakers were:

• Sue Ward on How not to build a bridge
• Beverley Bagnall on John Johnstone, Architect
• John Gall on Waste Not Want Not
• and Tom Yellowley on Mechanics Institutes

and the evening was organised by Hugh Dixon
