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.

SUMMARY:Birmingham: On the Trail of The Pilgrim Fathers
DESCRIPTION:On the Trail of The Pilgrim Fathers\nSpeaker: J Keith Cheetham \nThe Pilgrim Fathers stand out in history as the best remembered of all American colonists and over one million North Americans count them as their ancestors. The Pilgrims were the first group to found their own colony and run it on a system of administration and obedience which was the forerunner of the established American tradition of government. Yet who were these people and from where did the name ‘Pilgrim Fathers’ originate? \nKeith traces their story from various parts of England\, first to Holland then on their epic journey to the New World on the Mayflower in 1620. \nNote that this meeting is not on a Wednesday evening but a Saturday afternoon \nClick here to download a poster
