Main Speaker: Liz O’Riordan
Topic: The Plague
Short Speaker: Diana Donker from Grow On Katikati
The meeting starts with general business for a few minutes, followed by our short talk. This month Diana Donker from Grow On Katikati will come and tell us about the activities of her group in support of growing edibles in our gardens.
Our main speaker, Liz O’Riordan, will talk about the Plague. Which started its dramatic appearance in Britain in with the Black Death in 1348, wiping out half the population of Europe. There were no vaccines, no knowledge of how disease spreads. How did they cope? Liz will take us there, and relate it to the 21st century.
