Hello everyone,

​

Thank you to all those members, over 150, who came to our AGM.  I also offer thanks to Fenella for guiding us through the agenda so competently.

​

Those attending were rewarded by a truly informative lecture from Amy Lim.

“Queens, Consorts and Courtiers. Female art patrons in late Stuart England.” 

Amy was staying in Liverpool that night and asked us to drop her in Port Sunlight, a place she had never visited.  Once again I reflected on the fact that we hold our meetings on a Monday, a day when the Lady Lever Gallery is closed.  Many of our visiting lecturers would have preferred it to be open!

 

We welcomed Tyler Butterworth to our Spring Supper. His pre dinner talk,

“A Bit of a Carry On“ made strong reference to his theatrical family. Tyler spoke of his father Peter’s war efforts which he, Tyler, had meticulously researched and his parents careers in theatre, film and television.  An excellent opener to our Spring celebration.

 

We can now look forward to Sarah Pearson’s visit on April 14th. Sarah is going to tell us “How to build a Renaissance Palace.”

​

I look to seeing you on that day,

​

Judith Wheat
