On Monday 13th January, we held our 1st Winter Talk at Bere Alston Bowling Club.
The speaker was Bere Ferrers local, Clive Charlton and the subject was Around the Top of the World – The Search for the Northwest Passage.
We heard about the many dramatic attempts to find a route for boats to navigate across the top of Canada to transit between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and thus avoid the long passage via Cape Horn.
We had a large audience and were even treated to a couple of appropriate sea songs from the Tavy Tars midway through the talk.
Our next talk will be on Monday 17th February.
