The
History and Culture of Olive Oil:
Bernard Hubbard stepped in to cover this talk after the
Circle was let down by The Real Olive Company. His
initial interest in Olive Oil was from knowing the
health benefits of this 'liquid gold'. The rest
(as they say) is history. Includes Olive oil
tasting. |

The
Italians at War 1940-1945:
Dr Morgan will correct the views of those brought up on
the propaganda of World War Two and the tales of
Pepone and Don
Camillo. Italy and the
Italians had far more difficult moral and strategic
problems to solve than we did. |
