DATE	MONTHLY MEETING PROGRAMME:
9 Dec online only	Peter Stone: London and its Links with Slavery. During the 18th and 19th centuries British ships carried more slaves from Africa to the New World than any other nation. London was at the centre of the trade: Its slave ships made 3,000 voyages and delivered around 700,000 Africans; its banks provided the necessary credit; and many of the owners of plantations on which slaves toiled lived in London’s fashionable suburbs. Peter will tell the story of London’s links with slavery, and of its abolition. He has long studied many aspects of London’s history, from Roman times to the 20th century. The results are continually added to his website www.TheHistoryOfLondon.co.uk. His book The History of the Port of London is a standard work on London’s maritime history. He is a Committee Member of the Docklands History Group, which meets at the Museum of London Docklands, and is a lifetime member of London Historians.
20 Jan	We start the new year with a return of Steve Richards.

Coffee Mornings

These are back to meeting physically again now. Our iU3A coffee mornings are a popular way of getting to know other members. They are on varying days of the week and are free to iU3A members. See the latest Bulletin for date of next coffee morning.

Our coffee mornings are organised by Sally Fox. To book up for any of the coffee mornings please email Sally here. She will then advise you that you are booked. If you can't attend a coffee morning you've booked for, please let us know by emailing Sally (same link as above) to say you can't now make it.
 

iU3A's pub lunches provide an opportunity for members to meet each other in a social atmosphere. They take place monthly, around Islington. If you are buying a lunch the cost is around £10 to £12 with drinks being extra. If you'd like to come along to one of these please email Andy Watson here for more information or to reserve your place.

Each of our lunches held so far have attracted about 15 iU3A members who've enjoyed some good chat. While originally conceived to attract more male members there has been good support from women members. Do come along and join us.

Pub lunches are now a 'group' and details of their schedule can now be found in Beacon.
