Friends Meeting House Thomas Street Cirencester Brief titles of past programmes are given here. Reports have been written for some years for inclusion in the Wilts and Glos Standard, and for the past few years have been gathered annually in the Society’s Newsletter. We have information on the titles  and speakers at the annual Croome Lecture since it started in 1969, but very little on the other lectures of early years. If you have old programmes, we would be interested in seeing them.
