LANGPORT & DISTRICT HISTORY SOCIETY Talks programme

Our talks usually take place in the Langport & Huish Sports & Social Club, Eastover, TA10 9RZ. They start at 7.30pm on the first Monday in the month, except if that is a Bank Holiday, when we meet a week later, and July and August, when we don't meet. Talks are free to members.
