What is the Gosport Local History Luncheon Club?
The Gosport Local History Luncheon Club started out as a further education class at St Vincent College. The photo above is the frontage building of that college.
You can find a fuller history of the club in the about section of this site. Here all I need to say is the club is open to all with an interest in local history in, Gosport, the surrounding area and any form of links to Gosport and the area.amazon sea moss pills
