MEMBERS enjoyed a thoroughly enjoyable evening, taken back in time with Professor MacGinty and his mobile museum, covering ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt, through the ages to World War II.
He told a little of the history and brought various objects for the audience to guess their use. They ranged from a wooden pillow from Egypt, Greek stones which helped athletes to jump longer to the Roman equivalent of the Swiss army knife.
He also brought ration books, gas masks - including a baby Mickey Mouse one - a tin of dried egg and a tin of national dried baby milk.
