SUMMARY:Birmingham: Apprenticeship Indentures and Assignments and three Overseers Accounts
DESCRIPTION:Apprenticeship Indentures and Assignments and three Overseers Account\nSpeaker: Rhonda Niven\nIn this presentation we will hear about the conservation of Apprenticeship Indentures and Assignments and Overseers Account Books of Bromsgrove St Johns. This project was carried out in 2022 by Rhonda Niven\, Book and Paper Conservator at the Hive in Worcester as a result of funding provided by the Kemp Legacy fund from Midland Ancestors allowing access to documents that had previously been too fragile for Researchers to handle. \nAs Conservator\, Rhonda is responsible for the preservation and conservation of a wide range of mainly paper-based material. Originally from New Zealand\, she graduated from West Dean College\, Chichester\, with a Graduate Diploma in Conservation/Restoration of Books and Library Materials. Prior to joining the Hive team Rhonda was employed to conserve the records of Broadmoor Hospital which are held by the Berkshire Record Office. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stourbridge Group - 'The Real 'Allo 'Allo'
DESCRIPTION:‘The Real ‘Allo ‘Allo’\nA talk by John Pittwood\nThe Talk – The Real ‘Allo ‘Allo’ \n \nThis is a fascinating talk about the father of John\, also called John. John had volunteered for the RAF and had became a Lancaster bomber navigator with 207 Squadron. On the 3rd/4th May 1944\, John and the rest of his crew took off from RAF Spilsby. This was his seventh mission. They were to bomb a French military base at Mailly-le-Camp (south-east of Paris). The military camp had been taken over by the German army after the fall of France in 1940 and was being used as a panzer training camp. The target was part of the softening up process before D-Day. After bombing the target John’s aircraft was shot down by a German night fighter(s).The captain ordered the crew to bail out. John successfully bailed out and this talk tells his remarkable story how he successfully evaded captured and escaped via Spain. \n \nTypical German Nightfighter – Heinkel HE 219 \nThe Speaker \nJohn is a retired Electrical Engineer. One of his interests is photography and he is a volunteer photographer for the National Trust. John is also a Community Presenter for the RNLI\, a role he has filled for 40 years. John will donate his fee to the RNLI. \n

SUMMARY:Wolverhampton: Clive of India
DESCRIPTION:Robert Clive was born near Market Drayton in 1725 and has been widely credited for laying the foundation of the British East India Company (EIC). \nClive’s actions on behalf of the EIC have made him one of Britain’s most controversial colonial figures. His achievements included checking French imperialist ambitions on the Coromandel Coast and establishing EIC control over Bengal\, thereby furthering the establishment of the British Raj\, though he worked only as an agent of the East India Company\, not of the British government. \nOur presenter\, Max Keen\, is a lively and animated speaker who is sure to provide an entertaining evening whilst dressed in a costume of the period. \nDoors open at 7.15 pm for a meeting start time of 7.30 pm \n
