Monthly Meeting

Our speaker today is Brian Margetson and his talk is entitled Ghosts, Royals and Ferrymen. 

Brian's original discipline was Structural Engineering.  He spent a long and productive career designing buildings and other structures, now semi-retired he has time to follow another long term interest - Public Speaking.

Over some 25 years Brian has created a unique photographic archive and catalogue of stories relating to Britain's small working Ferries.  He will share with us his varied collection of strange craft, interesting individuals, unusual locations and the stories that accompany them.  This is a lighted hearted presentation focusing on river, estuary and inshore ferries, from rowing boats to the Isle of Wight Ferry.
