Film, Television and Radio
This Group meets
at 2.00pm on the first Monday of each month in Members' homes (see the Newsletter for details).
We welcome new members to join our friendly and lively discussions on all aspects
of Film, Television and Radio.
Tea and biscuits are served.
See below for a report of an outing.
Music
Theatre and Concert
This group goes on outings to the theatre, concerts, musicals, ballet, etc., both locally and further afield.
Possible events are proposed and agreed at monthly planning meetings which all group members are encouraged to attend (see diary pages ) and advertised to group members in a monthly newsletter to see if there is sufficient interest.
If you wish to receive this Newsletter please let the Co-ordinator know by 'phone or by e-mail.
Everybody is welcome at our monthly planning meetings which are now held in members’ homes on the third
Monday of the month at 10.00am.
Interest in this group seems to be declining and to try to rekindle enthusiasm, we are looking into the use of a larger coach to take us on the outings which are further afield.
Group members who receive their group newsletter by post must ensure that the co-ordinator is kept supplied with S.A.E.s
- ‘George’ - any after effects?
If anyone is interested the co-ordinator will try to arrange play readings ( not for performance, just for the pleasure of reading them ).
- Film TV & Radio Group Visit to the Jerwood Centre at Dove Cottage.
- This followed a meeting when the group discussed the David Dimbleby documentary "A Picture of Britain".
We learned about the Centre's involvement in the BBC programme; of how paintings from the collection were used and of how the curator had to stand behind the camera during filming to safeguard some of the treasures. We wanted to know about David Dimbleby and were assured that he had been most agreeable.
Some of us had believed that the prestigious Jerwood Centre for British Romanticism was for the exclusive use of Wordsworth scholars. In reality our small group, whose interest had been sparked by a popular television documentary, was accorded the same welcome and afforded the same facilities as would a group of learned academics of international renown.
