15th March 2022 - Bridgescapes

Bruce Keith

Following a number of false starts, (thanks to  Covid 19)  Biggar Probus Club  were finally allowed to hold a meeting  on the 15th March with a very accommodating  speaker, Bruce Keith, his subject “Bridgescapes”.   Just scratch the surface and the age, size, design, application and history of every construction is awaiting you.

Like many things in life they are taken for granted, until they are not functioning. By definition bridges are needed in awkward places which bring challenges to Designers  and Builders alike.  Building materials have also adapted to the changing times,  making many into “rather large” works of Art.

Bruce supported his humorous talk with many pictures of a wide variety of beautiful structures all around us.

The final meeting of the season is 5th April, and just to confirm we welcome Ladies as well as men to all our meetings.
