All announcements are subject to Corona conditions and short-term changes

Update, September 2020:

• The Clubroom will be restricted in numbers; distancing is required.
• The theatre we had booked has been postponed to next year.
• We therefore recommend that you book during the week before each Clubroom event (by phone or email to Susan) or be prepared to be turned away (sadly) if you come without reserving and we are already fully booked. Please cancel if you have reserved and find later that you cannot come.
• We must provide to the VHS an exact room plan of each meeting with names, addresses, phone numbers and seating positions of all visitors. (Do not move the chairs.)
• Therefore please arrive by 17:25 at the latest, as we must record any missing details and the seating positions.
• We will disinfect the chairs and tables before the events.
• Please wear a face mask whenever you are not seated, keep your distance (1.5m / 5') and follow the general VHS Corona rules displayed in the building.
• Please keep your coat or jacket with you at your seat. The wardrobe must not be used.
• Bring your own drinking water if you need it.

Please stay tuned and check here for new information.

Remains of the Italian occupation of Rhodes through the eyes of Lawrence Durrell

Saturday, 22 May 2010, 17:30h

Before the island of Rhodes was handed back to Greece after centuries of occupation by Turks, Italians and Germans it was administered briefly by Britain. Durrell wrote his famous account “Reflections of a Marine Venus” in 1853 after having been stationed there.
This talk by Dr Michael Heinze takes Durrell's writing as a launching pad to explore this fascinating part of Rhodes' history.
