Anne joins in

Library Volunteer Anne Pond joined a select band of 'experts' when she made a presentation to the Cornish Maritime History Conference on Saturday 16 October. Her topic, drawn from her MA (University of Exeter) studies, was Falmouth and Plymouth Docks in the 19th century. Anne dealt confidently with the formation of the two dock companies and their early successes (and failures). She was supported by her husband and some of her Thursday 'gang', ready with helpful advice and support (hmm ... who writes this stuff?).
