We have now contacted everyone who had bought tickets for our cancelled May talk by Ann Morton, Doctors, Dirt & Disease. Thank you for your understanding and helpfulness. A huge thank you to those who have donated their ticket payments rather than take refunds. Amazing generosity, and so very much appreciated.
We are very much hoping that Ann will re-schedule her talk for us in 2021. Event Bookings Update: Whilst the Museum is closed, Susan, our Talks Secretary, would be very grateful if you made bookings for Friends' Events by telephone to 020 8642 4778, and not by post. A list of bookings is being maintained in the order they are booked, and Susan will be in touch with people nearer the time regarding payment. Many thanks.
