A full year's programme completes with our Christmas meeting (when was the last time we could say that?). There will be a short talk by our good friend, Mark Smith (he hasn't revealed the subject yet, so I count it a Christmas mystery), there will be a buffet (there are rumours of cake!), there will be a quiz and there will be a raffle (with things that aren't all books!) and of course there will be lots of nattering about the Great War (and who knows, maybe other topics?).
Oh, there will be an AGM as well, but we hope to keep that short and sweet.
