Southampton Displays and Presentations given by past speakers

Increasingly our visiting speakers give us a power-point slide display as well as showing items on the display boards for subsequent viewing. Many have kindly given the Society permission to show these on our website.

The listings are presented as PDF files for viewing and downloading, as follows.
