19th February

Stephen Wass : Fish ponds

Fishponds, many from the Middle Ages, are a common  feature of the landscape yet their significance in terms of diet and economy is often misunderstood. Archaeologist  Stephen Wass takes us on a tour of local watery settings from the Roman period up until the eighteenth century and explains that there is far more to fishponds than meets the eye.

 

 

19th March  

Alan Wolstencroft: Alans Africa

Alan joined Banbury Rotary Club in 2004, and in 2005 he visited Sierra Leone as a member of a Rotary Mission Challenge Team, with Mercy Ships, for what he believed would be a “one off life experience”, BUT those 11 days were life changing for him and he has now visited Sierra Leone 15 times.
