Here is our list of meetings up to Christmas
MONDAY 13th SEPTEMBER - KICK-OFF MEETING “Liverpool: maritime mercantile city” - a walking tour with David Hearn Yes, to mark the start of our 2021 - 2022 season we really are going to have a face-to-face meeting again! It will be outdoors and will take the form of a guided walk around some of Liverpool’s most important commercial buildings. We are extremely grateful to David Hearn for undertaking to lead the walk. His chosen title is that of the Liverpool UNESCO World Heritage Site - the title that has now been removed. The walking tour will give an insight as to why Liverpool fully deserved the accolade and indeed, still does. The walk will start at 6.30pm in the now pedestrianised Castle Street, facing the front of the Town Hall. Here’s looking forward to a great turnout!
MONDAY 11th OCTOBER “Why Liverpool should retain its WHS status” - Professor Michael Parkinson To underline David’s view of Unesco’s flawed decision we are delighted to welcome Professor Michael Parkinson, Ambassador for the University of Liverpool’s Heseltine Institute for Public Policy, Practice and Place. Over the past 40 years, Professor Parkinson has chronicled both the decline and the renaissance of the city and he is author of the books, Liverpool on the Brink and Liverpool Beyond the Brink. Many of us will agree with the view that Unesco’s evidence was questionable and its judgement about the city unbalanced and unfair.
This will be our first meeting back at the QMH and we expect a good turnout to welcome this distinguished speaker.
MONDAY 8 th NOVEMBER “Marine Infrastructure - Part 2” by John Luxton John has been investigating Britain’s numerous small ports for half a lifetime and has built up an extraordinary body of knowledge on the subject. Those with long memories will recall that he spoke to us at the QMH six years ago, but his fascinating lecture was cut short as the clock chimed 9.00pm. We are delighted to welcome John back for the second half of his talk!
MONDAY 13th DECEMBER MIHS AGM and Famous Quiz This will be an important AGM as we will need to find a new Chairperson. Anna Alexander is standing down after leading us for six years (she signed up for three). We also plan to have a bumper quiz and hopefully we will smuggle in some tasty Christmas fare.
