Les conférences d’1h30, suivies d’un temps pour les questions, se prolongeront par une séance de dédicaces et de vente de livres, organisée par la libraire française de Londres, « La Page ». 
L’Association des Historiens a été fondée à Paris en 1997 par soixante historiens convaincus que l’histoire est indispensable à l’intelligence du présent et nécessaire à toute réflexion pertinente sur l’avenir. Les cycles de conférences qu’elle propose, assurées par d’éminents universitaires, présentent de grandes synthèses chronologiques accessibles à un large public. Leur ambition est de nous permettre de mieux comprendre d’où nous venons, quels héritages nous portons, et d’éclairer le chemin où nous allons.

Thank you for coming yesterday evening



Thank you for your support yesterday evening in participating and meeting the few people gathered.



Whether it was the political climate or the early September, quite a few sent their apologies, this did not detract from the conviviality and also to make some good contacts with those present.



The quality of the contacts you make is better than the quantity.

The Network is your platform to promote your cause, your business, venue and yourself. It  helps your further your business or career and makes meaningful social and business contacts. You get connected, proactive and productive.


It is group of like minded and agreeable people in a relaxed atmosphere. I hope that you enjoyed the evening and that we shall see you again next month when our guest speaker is  Kim Rix, The Gemstone detective.



If you are not yet a member please join us on https://the-network.one, it only costs £40 a year and you gain free entry to all our events except when we need to preorder food and drinks and many other advantages outlined on our website.
