Indoor meetings for the group are held at Central Methodist Church on Baker Street starting at 2pm and finishing about 4pm. It is an entrance fee of £2 please.
At our January meeting we learned a lot about writers who had links with Nottingham and entertainers like Ken Dodd and Morecambe & Wise who began their careers at the Nottingham Empire. I asked if Alex could supply us with his research notes for interest in the topic. He tells me a book by John Baird called ‘Following the Moon & Stars: A literary Journey Through Nottinghamshire’ is good or you could try researching at the library and online.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE DATE OF FEBRUARY MEETING this has been changed to February 25th, due to altered dates at John Godber Centre.
MORE CHANGES: Our speaker Ian Morgan has an unexpected hospital appointment and can’t make our meeting. What a shame. Instead I have brought forward the meeting we would be having in November – ‘Bring, Show and Tell’ when members Bring an Artifact/Item/Book, Show it and Tell us the story of why it is important to them. If you have something please mention it to me at the main meeting in John Godber on the 18th February, I’ll be in the refreshment room. For information – There is another meeting in the church on the 25th so the car-park might be a bit busy.
Kathy and Sue will be in the foyer taking names and money £12 for our visit in April to the National Memorial Arboretum. Money is for cost of coach only: Admission is free. The coach leaves Hucknall at 10.30am and leaves the Arboretum at 4pm.
