Our next monthly meeting will take place on Wednesday, 10th September at 7:00 p.m. in the Observatory Library.

Our speaker this month is Hugh Daly from Poyntzpass and District History Society, and the title of his talk is:

Drumbanagher Estate in 1820

When Maxwell Close bought the estates of Drumbanagher and Acton, he wasted no time in starting to improve them. One of his first acts was to appoint William Greig of Belfast to carry out a survey and audit of the Drumbanagher estate and make recommendations on how it could be improved. This talk will be based on results of the survey carried out by William Greig.
