Join us for a short talk and discussion (40-50 minutes) on many different aspects of life in Albany and around the region. Also, visit some of the historic sites associated with the talks and meet some of the people who maintain them. Tuesday morning lectures start at 10.30am. And this year, by popular demand, two Thursday evening talks (starting 5.30pm) will be conducted each term.
