Geraldine Goddard Memorial Lecture
16 November 2024 10:00-11:30
Geraldine Goddard Memorial Lecture
Presentation by Alastair MacDonald, Leighton Library Executive Group member, Restoration Lead and Visits Co-ordinator.
Refreshments served from 10am with presentation at 10.30am in Dunblane Cathedral Hall
This is the first in what we hope will be an annual lecture, commemorating the kind bequest of Geraldine Goddard. With her generosity, the recent Leighton Library Restoration was able to be started. The fabric of the building had been in need of restoration for some time. As a result of Geraldine's bequest, and further grant funding from Historic and Environment Scotland and numerous other bodies and individuals, the restoration commenced some two years ago. This summer saw the Leighton Library reopen with record numbers of visitors.
Alastair Macdonald, the lead for the Leighton Library Restoration, will take us through his 'Reflections on the restoration, its reopening and some of his personal favourites in the collection'. This promises to be a really interesting event. The event is free but places are limited. In the past our events have always been oversubscribed, so please get your ticket early. This will also help us with the logistics in the hall. There will be light refreshments provided so that there will be time to mingle and chat. The Leighton Library will also be open for those who would like to revisit "Dunblane's hidden gem."
