This last three months we have continued to follow the theme of Empires with two very interesting DVDs on the Aztecs and Incas; and the Romans in Palestine and Europe, borrowed from the U3A resource centre. We have concluded with a presentation on the “Concept of Empire” followed by a discussion chaired very ably by Tom Garside.

 We now leave this theme and our next three meetings are as follows:-
