Goodbye Summer - Welcome the new season
The Society's 2013/2014 season starts on Thursday 26th September with a talk by Mark Bevan titled 'White Mischief and the Vale Royal Legacy'. Mark is a regular speaker at our meetings. Members should recall his talks on the histories of Oulton Park and of Tarporley Races. In 'White Mischief', Mark will give us a tale of intrigue set in colonial Africa but with local connections.
'From the riverbanks of the Weaver to the heart of Africa, this talk follows the incredible story of Lord Delamere, of Vale Royal, possibly the last great white explorer; the man who almost single-handedly rocked the cradle of Kenya… and the impact, thousands of miles away in Cheshire, is still being felt today! And who hasn’t heard of White Mischief, the book and the film based upon murder and the indolent aristocrats of Kenya’s Happy Valley? Now, over sixty years later, Lord Delamere’s great grandson has become embroiled in a life and death drama of the 21st century'
As usual we meet in Tiverton Village Hall at 7.30 pm. All or welcome - returning members and guests.
