At the meeting on 19th November Trevor Lee came to tell us about entertainers who had been born in Nottinghamshire. We discovered that some favourite people we hadn’t realised were born locally. Lesley Crowther was among them with Cavan O’Connor; Constance Shacklock (Who had sung in so many of Hucknall’s Churches) and of course Eric Coates. How good it was as well to hear their voices or music so thank you Trevor (whom else could we think of who would have the technology to allow us to hear these performers)?
On 21st January, at 2pm, Central Methodist Church, Alex Rose, who was recommended by Anne Wilkinson, is coming to talk to us about ‘A Literary Ramble Around Nottingham’. Instead of counting sheep what about trying to name local authors or artists and see if Alex agrees?
Happy New Year to history buffs,
Maureen Newton
