Our winter season of six monthly talks begins in September and runs through to March on the third Friday of the month, apart from December when there is not a talk. With the exception of the January and February talks which are presented online on Zoom, they are held in the main hall of the Breadalbane Community Campus in Aberfeldy at 7.30 p.m.
However, taking into consideration the likelihood of adverse winter weather during the months of January and February making travel difficult for the speakers and audience alike, and from comments that many are unwilling to venture out on cold, wet, snowy winter evenings, we have decided to continue to present the January and February talks online on Zoom. This also allows us to continue to have contact with the wider audience of all those who joined our 2020-21 winter season of Zoom talks when, due to Covid restrictions, we were not able to hold live in-person talks in the Breadalbane Community Centre.
In October 2023, and taking into account the possible damage that might be caused by Storm Babet, Perth & Kinross Council closed a number of their public buildings including the Breadalbane Community Campus in Aberfeldy where we hold our ‘in-person’ talks. This resulted in us having to cancel our talk on ‘The Mysteries, Folklore and History of Glen Lyon’ on Friday, 20th October. We have now rescheduled this talk to take place in the Breadalbane Community Campus on Friday, 19th April, 2024 at 7.30 p.m.
From our constitution, one of the Charitable Purposes of the Society is to advance education, heritage and culture by promoting and encouraging an interest in the study of the archaeology, history, antiquities, folklore and natural history, particularly concerning the Breadalbane and Upper Tay area of Perthshire. With this in mind and when possible, we try each year to build our programme of talks around these five topics associated with our local area. Our 2023-24 season includes talks on natural history, history, antiquities and archaeology; it is always more difficult to source talks on local folklore.
