Town Gas Supply in a Small City - by Paul Staniforth
Paul's father managed Ely City Gas Works, so he grew up with town gas literally in his blood. He has made a study of these works, and he will have copies of his book for sale on the night. The presentation includes a short film.
As always the Chairman welcomes suggestions of speakers. If you know anyone or have heard a good relevant talk please let him know.
If you can give a talk of interest to our members please get in touch with him. He would particularly like to hear of members who can make a presentation to the Society, be it for a full evening (an hour to a maximum of hour and a half) or just 10 minutes on a members night. We are able to help with the preparation of visual aids &etc. Slide projectors, computer, digital projector and overhead projector are all available.
