Wednesday 15 November, 7.30pm

Jubilee Park Hall,  Barley Close, Bloxham

Our short AGM (approx 20 mins) will be followed by three short talks from our members:

 Sarah Reay: “The Half-Shilling Curate”

Sarah tells the inspiring story of her grandfather, Rev Herbert Cowl, an army chaplain on the Western Front during World War 1, drawing on her very well-reviewed book and research into his personal letters and writings. For her book, see https://www.amazon.co.uk/Half-Shilling-Curate-Personal-Account-1914-1918/dp/191109646X/ref=sr_1_1

Ian Myson: “My Dad, his feet, and the Cold War”

Ian tells an intriguing tale of military propaganda, superpower rivalry and extraordinary footwear.

Rod Wallington: “Humorous verse of different periods”

Rod, a noted connoisseur of the droll and well-turned phrase, shares, and comments on, some of his favourite verse.

Refreshments provided (from 7.15pm)
