The Story of Navigation. Jeremy Batch.

We just had to invite Jeremy Batch to return after the wonderful evening he gave us last year. Jeremy is legendary for the quality of his presentations, depth of knowledge and droll sense of humour. This promises to be another evening not to be missed. How did they navigate in the early days? How did they manage without a compass? What about the very latest developments in navigation? Come along and find out, together with much, much more.

GUESTS ARE WELCOME AT OUR EVENTS.
