NEW!! Lunchtime Lectures

I would like to announce a series of four lunchtime lectures. These will be held at Phoenix House, Central Avenue, Sittingbourne on four consecutive Mondays in July, 11.30am to 1pm. Each lecture will be given by a different HRGS member, the topic a culmination of their own research.
