This year we have enjoyed a very interesting and informative talk from The Ambulance Service First Responders Representative, a personal perspective on the feelings and experiences of being evacuated by Mrs. Jean Richards and a very much appreciated and eye opening view of school and family life from retired headmaster Mr. Norman Britton. Our 2011 programme will commence on January 25th, with Mr Hugh Parkin who will give an illustrated talk about ―The History of the Doncaster Plant Works‖ while February 15th will see us once again gathering for a repeat of our very enjoyable Lunch and Afternoon Dance.
