| Thu Oct 17th | Meeting | 2:00pm. Bedhampton Community Centre. A talk entitled 'The Rise and Fall of Emma Hamilton' narrated by Dr Bob France, an excellent speaker who has enthralled us on a number of previous occasions. This is the dramatic story of one of the most remarkable women in English History. From rural poverty, Emma became the most painted woman in Europe, a fashion icon and pioneer of interpretive performance art. She was a dazzling hostess, the confidante of a powerful queen, a heroine of the Napoleonic wars and the lover of Britain's greatest naval hero. Discover her Uppark connection and how she rose so astronomically, only to crash so catastrophically. Please come along to hear her fascinating story. We are sure that you will not be disappointed. |
