SUMMARY:Wolverhampton: Prince Rupert of The Rhine - King Charles I's Pirate Prince
DESCRIPTION:An exciting presentation by Max Keen who will be dressed in period costume. \nPrince Rupert was the nephew of King Charles I and one of the English Civil War’s most paradoxical heroes.   Handsome\, impetuous and courageous\, he was the epitome of the ‘Cavalier’\, yet he was born a German prince and a protestant.   As the Royalist General of Horse\, he was a brilliant strategist\, but a volatile and impetuous tactician.   He also served the royalist cause as an Admiral and in later life commanded fleets against the Dutch. \n  \nDoors open at 7.15 p.m. for a 7.30 p.m. start

SUMMARY:Wolverhampton: If You Can't stand The Heat Get Out Of The Kitchen - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Not a talk about cooking!\nCas Bailey is a former Staffordshire Police Officer.  She talks about her life in the Police Force in the 1970s when being a white male was really the only thing to be.  Her tales of this time are akin to the TV programme Life On Mars and very entertaining.  Life was very different to now-remarks we would now consider sexist\, ageist or racist were the norm.  Cas tells her story with light hearted humour and the knowledge that mostly\, no harm was ever meant by the things that were said or done.
