Photos above our fascinating talk on 4th October about the history of Sulgrave manor near Banbury and its link to George Washington. The talk was given without a script, without a microphone and without visual aids other than the splendid Tudor costume worn by the speaker - Laurence Washington, Lord of the manor of Sulgrave and Stuchbury (aka Martin Sirot-Smith). He held the audience spellbound with the story spanning the Middle Ages to modern times.
Jean has been contacted by Gary from the BBC about a factual programme that they are making called "Holding back the Years". They have approached us with a view to
finding a volunteer to take part in a feature about driving as one gets older. Gary is currently working on a feature which explores the idea of losing confidence/being more apprehensive as a driver as one gets older. He will be working with a
group called IAM Roadsmart who help people in this situation by offering what they call Mature Driver Reviews – an hour long drive with an assessor who provides advice on any skills which the driver may need to brush up on. The filming of this would probably take about 2 hours, in the week commencing 23rd October.
Interested? Please contact Jean for more information.
