HERITAGE NEWS 010

First issued: 2nd October 2013

Members Tours

A guided tour of Harding’s Battery and its environs took place a couple of weekends ago. The tour was led by Trustee Ian Balestrino and as well as a thorough explanation of the history and workings of  Harding’s Battery, the tour also took in a number of stops and features of the area. The tour was enjoyed by all.

The planned Operation Felix outings due to take place in the month of October have unfortunately had to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We hope to run these in the new year as there is a great deal of interest in the tour. We are contacting those of you who had booked on to give you a refund. If you have not heard from us, please get in contact with the Office.
