21/9/2022 0 Comments Sad NewsIt is with great regret that LLHG has to report the death on 19 September of Stephen Read, our founding Secretary who held that office with distinction until ill-health obliged him to relinquish it in 2019. We will miss the enthusiasm and application he demonstrated and which was responsible for the success of LLHG projects from its inception in 2006 to date, and our condolences are extended to his wife Ruth and their daughters Amy and Emma, and their respective families.

4/4/2022 0 Comments April 2022 Speaker MeetingThere's a change to the programme - the speaker we booked is not able to visit us as planned and we are trying to arrange another speaker to take over the slot with a different t talk. We weill keep you posted.
In February we successfully had a speaker meeting In-Person instead of via Zoom, but with some precautions. We intend to edge further toward normality for our March 17 meeting - fingers crossed!
Have a look at our "publications" page for a book about "BlindJohn" Gough, polymath and teacher, mentor to the celebrated natural scientist John Dalton, creator of "Dalton's Law" of partial gas pressures. Ian Hodkinson continues his eclectic rambles in local history with two new papers. One concerns yet another naturalist but the other deals with the adventures of Cumbrians in the Klondike gold rush 10/1/2022 0 Comments LATE CHANGE to 2022 programmeOmicron has made us make a slight change to our 2022 programme. A poll of LLHG members as to whether we should go ahead with face to face meetings produced a slight majority in favour, but the Committee took the view that the wary members would forgo the meeting whereas the bullish would still join the Zoom session. We have therefore decided to have the AGM via Zoom and to keep that option open for the February meeting. Hopefully March 2022 will see us back to normal.
For the AGM we have a change of speaker. Instead of the advertised talk on WW1 Medicine in Cumbria by Richard Preston, who does not do Zoom, our own Prof. Ian Hodkinson will treat us to his researches into First Footers - The Earliest Naturalists to Walk The Lake District. |
