The talk is illustrated with live performance of scenes from plays which she
currently tours professionally and includes a brief history of barristers’ court dress.





Happy and a better New Year
to all our members.

Zoom Meeting with 
Allan Grey – Happiness in Bhutan

“My trip to Bhutan was back in 2016, this was my final visit
to the Himalayas, to the remote and little-known kingdom
where they measure their progress not by GDP, but
by GNH, Gross National Happiness.”


MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO ALL OUR MEMBERS 


Wednesday, 11 November at 2pm
Zoom meeting with Ginny Davis
"Mad Englishwoman, Three Dogs and the Midday Sun"
In 2012 Ginny had a life-changing encounter with three dogs on the Greek island of Crete. This informative and entertaining talk presented with projected images describes how the meeting came about, what happened next and what happened after that. This is not just a “I rescued a dog story” although that did happen. A talk which includes interesting facts about dogs, their history and how they have gained the status they now hold in modern civilised society which is designed to inform and entertain not only dog lovers.

Annual Meeting held on 
Wednesday 14 October,

interesting view of the world of tennis.
