We are delighted to confirm that our  meeting on 15 October will take place “in person” in the Breadalbane Community Campus Assembly Hall.   Our speaker will be Rob Hands, a retired geography teacher and joint founder of Tippermuir Books Ltd., publishing local and military history books.  In his talk, entitled “Battles of the Three Muirs”, Rob will explore  the outstanding local battles of Dupplin Moor (1332), Tippermuir (1644) and Sheriffmuir (1715) using maps and photographs to get a feel for the landscapes that determined the battle outcomes. Please see attached poster for additional information.   Doors open at 7pm and the talk will start at 7.30pm.  If you may be interested in purchasing any of Rob’s books he will be bringing some stock to sell on the night, therefore please ensure you have cash or cheque with you.

The Campus management have provided guidance regarding the Covid-related procedures that will have to be followed on the night:

  • Face coverings must be worn when moving around within the building but can be removed once seated;
  • Hand sanitiser should be used on entering and leaving the building and when moving to a different location;
  • The Hall will be as well ventilated as possible ;
  • Unfortunately we will not be able to serve any refreshments;
  • We are required to keep a register of all attendees as we will be responsible for any contact tracing in the event of a positive case.  (Lesley Whitwood is the BHS Covid Officer). 

Membership:    Thank you to all who have already paid their subscriptions either online or by cheque.  There will be an opportunity to pay your membership subscriptions at the meeting, either cash or cheque, and it is not necessary to complete a new membership form unless your contact details have changed.     We are not issuing membership cards this year, however all members will receive email confirmation of their membership and an electronic copy of the Prospectus, hard copies of which will also be available at the meeting.  As in previous years visitors will be asked for a donation of £4 on the night.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the Campus on Friday 15th October.
