• Monday 8 June - Chris Evans will present on the Design and Construction of the 3.4km long Colne ValleyViaduct and 16km long Chiltern Tunnels on HS2. Chris will use photographs, video and graphics to explain how this complex piece of civil engineering works has been constructed.

• Monday 13 July - Luke McCarthy, extended scope specialist Podiatrist and founder of My Foot Medic, will be giving expert advice on how to look after your feet. From injury prevention to general nail and skin care and how to keep you moving at your best.

• Monday 14 September - Brian Gubbins will give a talk entitled “The Mystery of the Cabin Boy Lost At Sea”, a who-done-it of sorts, that incorporates Brian’s extensive knowledge of genealogy. The story will be told in a similar fashion to the “Who Do You Think You Are?” television program and is non-technical so does not require any previous knowledge of family history research.
