We hold a meeting with refreshments and a speaker, free for all members, in the Palmer Hall on the first Tuesday of each month except August. The doors open at 2pm and the meeting starts at 2.30pm.
A report on each month’s talk is published in the newsletter.
Members with carers are welcome to be accompanied by their carer at no additional charge.
Guests who attend should bring £1 in cash, as we do not have a cash float or change.
Next Meeting
Jeff Evans will tell us about the history of the quiz show which is one of television’s most successful creations. The quiz show is the programme where everyone can show how clever they are and possibly earn a small fortune in the process. But where did it all begin? Which shows have been the most successful and who, along the way, have been the winners, losers and – perhaps most intriguingly – the cheaters? This fully illustrated, entertaining talk covers the whole fascinating history of the TV quiz show from the earliest days in the 1930s to today, showing how the format developed, celebrating the good, the bad anhe ugly and unearthing some very dodgy dealing along the way.
