As is our custom this meeting is outdoor and we are looking forward to enjoying a tour of Backbarrow Iron works, to be guided by Richard Sanderson, the Chairman of the Backbarrow Ironworks Heritage Trust.
Unlike our ordinary meetings there is a limit to the number of people who can join in and demand for places has exceeded expectations. So although we are pleased to state that the tour list is now fully subscribed it means that no more places on the tour are available and attendance is limited to those who have received our email confirming their places. 1/4/2024 0 Comments APRIL 2024 Speaker MeetingThe April LLHG meeting is closer than you think.
