[nwbcc] Members talks

[John Case]

Hi All

I have now had response from 5 members who are willing to give  
illustrated talks and slide shows to the public on behalf of our  
club. Details have been forwarded to Patrick for publication on the  
NWBCC website, but in the meantime here they are. Many thanks to all  
who have responded, anyone wishing to add to the list please let me  
know.

SYLVIA KELLY TALKS:


"The Bristol Connection (with the Isle of Man)"
The Manx poet who taught all his life in Clifton College hankered for  
the IoM and wrote narrative poems in Manx dialect as well as some  
describing the Bristol he knew. There are many beautiful paintings  
and photos that illustrate both aspects of his life.

"Happiest Days in Henleaze"
A tour of the stately homes of Henleaze which became schools.  A few  
have survived but many flourished briefly before being demolished for  
the house building boom.  Their archive photos take us back to our  
own schooldays.

"Behind the Scenes"
Postcards were used as we now use mobile phones but the messages can  
still be read and as printing technology improved the pictures  
developed into works of art.  As almost everyone has visited  a  
resort in their youth the scenes are nostalgic too.

historic coal haulage route
