Thursday 29th January, 2026   - LET's TALK

This will be the FIRST LET's TALK of the new calendar year.

This new talk is provided by one of our own members, Sandy Bateman who has delivered a talk to us before on the Bronte family - and was very well received too, I may add.

This new talk concerns Hannah More - a marvellous and influential women who made her mark on life and on society in the England of the 1800's by making a stand!

Now, Sandy, unlike a lot of presenters does not "do IT".  However, she'll have a table(s) display of books and pictures ... which she will encourage attendees to her talk, to examine closely ... get hands on!! Her talks are personal ... she has a story to tell.

Again, no booking required for this talk - just turn up and pay at the bar area.

So on come down and enjoy this very personally crafted story and  talk about Hannah More ...

Thursday 26th February, 2026   - LET's TALK

February's LET's TALK is brought to us by one of our Entertainer Members, Andy Leggett.  As an Entertainer Member, Andy delights us regularly playing in various Jazz combos at our Wednesday evening concerts as well as playing along side great Jazz Bands that we have on the frequent music events we have that are open to the public, such as Frog & Henry in the past and more recently at the great Daniel Garlitsky concert back in December.

Andy, of course, is very well known in  the Jazz scene in Bristol and can be regularly seen playing in the Old Duke and many other key venues around our great city.

This talk being presented, is about the great musician J. Warwick Moore (1869-1931) and is very personal ... being that Andy is actually related to him.  Find out more ... by attending his talk!!

You'll enjoy it 👍

Thursday 26th March, 2026   - LET's TALK

Our speaker at this month's LET's TALK in March, is  David Innes-Wilkin.  David is a retired architect who graduated from the University of Liverpool and early on, opened an architectural practice in Bristol. He has also qualified as a town planner and interior designer.

He lives in the heart of Bristol and likes to travel and of course, brings this latter lifelong travel interest to us, in his talk. 

It's a very interesting and glamorous period, in Italy in the 18th century, to think and dream about.

I'm looking forward to it !! 👍
