At last night’s meeting our brief was to talk about a man we admired. We heard about the presenters Monty Don, Ken Bruce, and Michael Palin, followed by a novel twist to the evening when we learned about male suffrage. Other men mentioned were the poet Ian McMillan, local character George Garrett and two members chose the slavery abolitionist William Wilberforce. A grandfather’s view from a book owned by our local organiser rounded off this evening with a smile.
