Mark Doherty is a local historian, lecturer and tour guide who has stood on the top of many of the mountains of Ireland while contemplating the mammoth achievement that set a new world standard.
Two hundred years ago, in the summer of 1825, the Ordnance Survey set up camp on the Black Mountain above Belfast and began to map the island of Ireland. This was a highly challenging endeavour led by three remarkably talented and driven idealists; a project that took 2000 people 20 years to complete. Maps were produced with an accuracy and complexity that set a new world standard.
All Club members are very welcome and may invite guests both to the talk and to lunch but please inform the Club of their names for our concierge at the front door and for the Dining Room.
Lunch will be buffet style in the dining room. When booking please advise of any dietary requirements. As we do not ask for payment in advance, it is important that you keep us advised of any changes to your booking.
We look forward to seeing you and your guests.
