A New Year and a change of venue. Our first meeting of 2021 will be held at the Officer's Mess at the Royal Historical Society (RHSV) of Victoria. The entrance is on William Street, opposite Flagstaff Gardens, not far from our previous venue. Members will be on hand to guide attendees to the new venue.
