Another attractive quality, the venue's built on the tail of the site of the first of the Grand Western Canal's boat lifts, a not entirely successful structure which survived, out of use, long enough to be recorded on a 1:500 Ordnance Survey town plan.
Surprisingly, west of the venue, canal era masonry survives almost as far as the approach to the long vanished aqueduct that took it across what became Station Road. Unfortunately no photographs survive of these relics.

I, too, have booked my seat. I encourage any of our members also to do so.
It's free, informal, and you do get to meet some very interesting people*, and you can have constructive discussions, in the course of the day.
The venue is on a level access route, within sight of Taunton Station. For those not now driving Formula 1, disabled access assistance can be arranged.
CfN.
* Excepting me, obviously.
