STOP PRESS! – Latest news – Mon 10th February 2025

Peter Bull is a retired ear, nose and throat consultant who now pursues his life-long passion for photography at a very high level.

He lives on the western edge of Hathersage, and on his previous visit to us in July 2021 he described just over a year during lockdown in his large garden which overlooks the Hope Valley, Stanage Edge and Hathersage Moor. This time, however, he ventured further afield to bring us “Summer in the High Arctic.” Glyn Davies’s blog on Peter’s talk is now published under Previous Talks.

Peter was with us in the clubhouse at Fulwood Sports Club, but our next talk on Monday, 17th February, will be via Zoom to the big screen television at FSC when Dr Dave McGarvie, an honorary research fellow at Lancaster University, will also be making a welcome return to speak to us about “Volcano mysteries – and how to survive them.”

Next up, our own member Lee Thompson will be centre stage on Mon 3rd March when he talks to us on “The World’s Most Secretive State – A Trip Inside North Korea.”

Underlining the wealth of knowledge within the club, Alan Spears will be describing “What Geology did for us in Sheffield” on Mon 21st July, architect Robert Guttridge will be talking to us on “The many iterations in the building of the Hallamshire Hospital” on 4th August and our new secretary Colin Peskett will be outlining “the History of Peak Rail” on 15th Sept.

Our 2025 Annual General Meeting has been confirmed for Monday, 12th May.
