The next lecture in our Wyllie Series is at 7.30pm on Wednesday 17th March (not the 24th March as previously advertised) and is entitled Portsmouth's Canal - a Doomed Venture? In the 1820s Portsmouth had a canal linking it with London. Why would anyone think that a coastal town needed an inland waterway? Dr John Stedman of Portsmouth Museums & Records Service explores the early 19th-century mind and the legacy of the canal in the city's landscape. Tickets, at £5 per person, include wine and cheese & biscuits. Three tickets are still available at the Club bar; further tickets are available from Manna (used to be Twiggs Café) at the junction of Broad Street and Pembroke Road. Details of forthcoming Wyllie lectures can always be found on the Wyllie Lectures page.
Two informal Club Suppers are being held in the next couple of weeks – both start at 8.15pm, cost £5 per person and are on a "first come, first served basis". The first is on Friday 12th March; the menu is still being finalised, but will be mouth watering. The second is on Friday 19th March, when delicious pizzas will be served. Don't miss out!

Morgan Allen, son of Graham Allen, is in the third year of a marine studies course at the University of Plymouth. As part of his dissertation he has prepared a short questionnaire on the need for compulsory training and age limits in the leisure sector of the marine industry. Morgan would be very grateful if members would complete a copy and email the results direct to him. A copy of the questionnaire, and full details, were included in the recent social email and will be available from on the Downloads page shortly.
Next of our fortnightly quizzes will be this Wednesday (10th March). 8.30pm start time, £1 per person entry fee for cash prizes. Teams of four; come with a team or team-up on the night. The quizzes take place on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month.
