Hello Everyone,

​

September … Looking forward to some interesting times.

​

We return to our monthly lecture programme on the 21st.

​

    A Passion for Tea. Ceremony and styles from East to West culminating with the Great British Cuppa. Amanda Herries.

   

Amanda will be travelling down to us from Scotland.

Prior to the lecture we will be holding our lunch for new members at Heswall Hall.

 

Then, some of us have the Historic Houses, Gardens and Heritage of the Cotswolds to enjoy.

 

This month … a timely reminder from Daphne Amlôt our Programme Secretary.

 

“At our Day of Special Interest Clare Ford-Willie will deliver three lectures entitled The History of the Tree in Art from Giotto to Klimt. She will explore the myriad ways in which artists and sculptors use trees in their work. 

There has already been steady interest shown by our members and we are all very much looking forward to this study day on Monday 2nd November 2026.

We have managed to hold the price of the ticket down to £56 which includes the cost of three lectures, coffee with biscuits and a buffet lunch. Tickets will be available at our next two meetings. I do hope that you will be able to join us for what will undoubtedly be a most absorbing day. “

 

And then really looking forward we have our December visit to the Manchester Exchange Theatre for “ A Little Night Music “ on Wednesday December 16th.

I hope to see you at our lecture on the 21st.
