Many thanks to the Rotherhithe and Bermondsey History Society (
http://www.rbhistory.org.uk/) for a very warm welcome on one of the coldest days I can remember. It was great to meet old friends, chat to some lovely people that I have only talked to on email before, and of course great say hello to a lot of new people. I can only apologize for the late start - nothing to do with the weather, but because I was at the wrong venue! My sincere thanks to Robert who was also at
Time and Talents rather than Surrey Quays shopping centre, for doing such a good job of navigating us from one place to the other in double quick time.
If anyone who missed the talk last night would like to see the PowerPoint, or if anyone at the presentation would like a second shot at it, it is available for download for the next few weeks at:
http://teaclippers.wordpress.com. I have saved it both as a PDF and as a PowerPoint presentation (for the latter you will need PowerPoint installed, or you can download the PowerPoint Viewer - the link for that is on the above page).
