Monthly Meetings - Speakers we have had recently

Tales from the Opera Pat Purcell regaled us with tales from her many years as an opera singer at Sadlers Well, many of which were extremely funny. It certainly gave us an insight into the trials and tribulations of an opera singer.

Colin Oakes We were given a completely different spin on the lives of Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale. Mary Seacole was a British Jamaican nurse who set up the "British Hotel” behind the lines during the Crimean War.

The Rhyme of our Lives Jean Hill, our most recent speaker, had us in fits of laughter with her poetry mostly taken from her real life experiences.

Tom Way gave a fascinating talk on wildlife photography, illustrated with beautiful fine art photos which captured the facial characteristics and body language of his subjects.

Life after Death in Paradise In a very entertaining talk, Robert Thorogood described what it takes to become a TV writer and the perseverance and patience involved.
A collection for the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria raised £140.
