Monthly Meetings
Our next meeting at Crockham Hill Village Hall is on Wednesday 30th April.
This month's speaker is Andrew Baker who will deliver his talk entitled The Profumo Affair 60 Years On.
"In July 1961, John Profumo met Christine Keeler at a country house party at Lord Astor’s Cliveden estate. The consequences flowing from that fateful weekend: sex, scandal, spies, security, suicide, race, violence, court cases, imprisonment and high politics, left Britain shellshocked. Things could never be the same again".
Regular meetings are held on the last Wednesday of the month at 2pm in Crockham Hill Village Hall.
