TONIGHT! AND FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY
Diet, Dirt and Discipline - Medical developments in Nelson's Navy at Venner Road Hall, 7.45 pm
As part of the bicentennary of the Battle of Trafalgar, Sydenham Society is hosting an illustrated talk by Jane Bowden Dan about the medical developments which really helped to bring the Royal Navy its fighting superiority in 1805.
This is, as far as we know, the only local event to commemorate events in October 1805. There is, of course, an exhibition "Nelson and Napoleon" at the National Maritime Museum until 13 November
Open to all local residents - cost £1 |

Pass on that one!!
However, whatever you do don't miss the Flotilla on Friday next, 16 Sept, as it travels from Greenwich (11.30) to St Pauls Cathedral(about 1 pm) to - sorry to use the word again - commemorate the funeral procession of Nelson on 8 January 2006. There will be 40 traditional oared craft, decorated and assembled to recreate the appearance of the original funeral procession. Sounds quite spectacular! |
