The meeting will start at 2pm, the Zoom access link will be sent to you on Monday 5th April.
There will an introduction and some u3a business before our guest speaker Mr Stephen Nurden presents an illustrated talk about his grandfather Stanley James.
This is a brief synopsis of his interesting life:
STANLEY JAMES, as a young man in the Canadian West, was by turns a cowboy, shepherd, navvy, hobo and newspaper reporter, soldier in the Spanish-American war, poet, playwright and actor. Returning to his native England, he married and became a Nonconformist minister who both charmed and alienated his Walthamstow congregation with his socialism and pacifism. In 1923 he converted and reinvented himself as one of the best-known Catholic writers of the English-speaking world, with nine books to his name.
