| Thu Sep 26th | Main Speaker: Christine Ames – A glimpse through the Door of No. 10 She promises a lighthearted look behind the door when she worked on the permanent staff from 1967 to 1973 during Harold Wilson and Ted Heath’s terms of office. She worked directly for Sir John Hewitt KCVO who was the Prime Minister’s Secretary for Appointments. If time she will also talk about living in West Berlin beside the wall at RAF Gatow, witnessing a particularly exciting escape by two East Germans. She has also owned a hotel in Lyndhurst, and been a Deputy Registrar for Hampshire County Council from 1999 – 2010. A really interesting afternoon! Group Presentation: Gardening Group 2 |
