Fran has been collecting lamps for 50 years and brought a selection of them to share with us.
From whale oil lamps, lamps for bicycles, boats and trains to miners lamps and even a lamp for a policeman, we were all caught up in his enthusiasm, knowledge and love.
The talk was followed by drinks and a lovely selection of delicious homemade treats as well as an opportunity to look at the lamps more closely.
A huge thank you to Fran who along with Trish raised an amazing £260
