The group aims to provide a diverse programme of talks by experts in their field. In previous years we've had talks by eminent scientists, local and national historians & archivists, as well as our own members. A particular highlight in 2019 was Prof Carenza Lewis (Time Team) talking on The "Black Death".

The following members speak regularly to groups and meetings around the region: Peter Hunt, John Wilson, Andy Mckinnon and Bob Massey. If you have any ideas for future meetings or would like a member of the group to speak at a function please contact us on alhgroupo@gmail.com
