Modern History is a friendly group which meets every fortnight on a Thursday at 10.00 a.m. Members prepare a brief talk to open a discussion on a topic of their own choice. Topics tend to cover themes from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries but subjects from outside this time can be covered if it is of particular interest to the member. Group members support one another in preparation of talks. Trips to historical sites are frequent additions to the fortnightly meetings. Topics for recent talks have included Women’s Fight for Equal Pay, Mikhail Gorbachev, Local Railways, Nazi Germany, Decline of the Empire, Rasputin and the Library Service.
