Talk, African Mammals and their Conservation, with David Dennis, Thursday 20th February 2025, 7:45pm, Church Centre, Featherbed Lane
David’s talk starts by reviewing the most endangered mammals in Africa and reflecting on the creation of the major national parks. Then he outlines the current challenges and some solutions that are emerging. The second half of the talk relates some extraordinary experiences with hyenas and elephants on a trip David and his wife took to Zimbabwe in 2022.
Talk, Wallis Simpson and her King, with Richard Anderson, Thursday 20th March 2025, 7:45pm, Church Centre, Featherbed Lane
Wallis Simpson led an extraordinary life and shocked the world with her ambition to marry the Prince of Wales. Was she badly treated by the country and our royal family, or did she get her just reward? In his talk, Richard Anderson will reveal all and perhaps a few bits more that you will not be expecting.
Talks at The Prestwood Gardening Society
Don't forget that we have a reciprocal arrangement with our friends in the Prestwood Gardening Society whereby our members can attend each other's talks at no cost. You can view Prestwood's programme here: Events Calendar - Prestwood Gardening Society (e-voice.org.uk)
