Monthly meetings
Restrictions on meetings and lack of available space have meant that there have been no monthly meetings since February. Before everyone finds something else to do on the last Monday morning of the month, the committee thought it would be a good idea to start up our regular talks, but to hold them via an online conference, using Zoom. Apart from a few who had technical issues, our meetings have been well attended and feedback has been positive. The next talk will take place on:
24 May 2021 via Zoom
Charles Garland
Dad's Army - The Nation's Favourite Comedy
What sets Dad's Army apart from the rest of the TV comedy archive? Charles Garland, himself an actor, writer, composer and producer, was, for over 20 years, assistant to the writers of the Dad's Army series, David Croft OBE and Jimmy Perry OBE. Sitcom production at the BBC became a large part Charles' life and he also re-edited most of the classic comedy archive for the BBC. Charles now presents a fascinating and amusing talk with anecdotes and personal insights about the writers and cast of the series and even takes us into the studio
The Work of a Practising Homeopath has been postponed to a later date.

Ancient Greek myths
The ancient Greek myths, as told by Hesiod and Homer amongst others, have inspired countless works of art over the span of 2,500 years or more. One of the joys of wandering an art gallery is realizing that, without looking at the plaque, you can tell what a painting is about from your knowledge of the myths. But what is the enduring power of these tales?
This series of talks, given by Robert Hodge and beautifully illustrated with works of art, will explore the interwoven myths from the creation to the time of heroes. There will be eight talks in all, fortnightly on Wednesdays from 4pm, lasting no more than one and a half hours, including time for questions. The second talk takes place on Wednesday 26 May..
