The next talk in the Chiswick Pier Trust’s (CPT) Talks on the Thames series will be given by art historian Alan Powers.
His lecture is titled Writ in Water and will be on the life and work of artist (and former Chiswick resident) Eric Ravilious. The lecture has been specially created for CPT to focus on Ravilious’ connections to water.
It takes place in The Pier House on Tuesday 19 December at 7pm.
The talk is expected to be popular as his last lecture sold out and advance bookings by CPT members is reported to already be very high.
Tickets cost £5 for non-CPT members and can be purchased online.
To celebrate the festive season, you will be able to buy a glass of wine at the event.
There are monthly talks in the series planned through to May covering a variety of topics from the work of the Port of London Authority to The Great Stink. Details will be on the Trust’s web site and in future newsletters.
Two dates to note for your diary for next Spring are the Mother’s Day Cruise taking place on 10 March and the Boat Race on 30 March.

The trust works to engage people with the River Thames. It provides access to the Thames and support major river events, as well as organising events of its own.
