Dear Members
Our March newsletter has been delayed but we hope to publish it in the next few days. In the meantime, I would like to confirm the dates of our forthcoming events.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DATES OF THESE EVENTS HAS CHANGED SINCE THEY WERE PLUBISHED IN OUR LAST NEWSLETTER.
Wednesday 24th March - HALE END HAMLET NIGHT.
This will take place from 7.00 pm in the back room of the Royal Oak (corner of Oak Hill and Hale End Road). The night is meant to be a community event to mark the recent interest in the ancient Saxon hamlet of Hale End. Recently the Council erected an information board describing Hale End ‘s history. We will be displaying some of the material we exhibited at our recent “Lost Properties” Exhibition. There will be some “new” photographs of Hale End from around 1905 on display which weren’t available at the earlier Exhibition in December. Patricia Collier, a local author has written a book about the “Tottenham Outrage” which came to a bloody conclusion in the cottages next door to the Oak a hundred years ago. Copies will be on sale. We hope to have a Picture Quiz in the main bar. The new Manager, Sharon (previously manager of The Larkshall) would like members to sample some of her alcoholic offerings (including two real ales on tap).
NB This even is NOT going to be about Shakespear!!
Saturday 24th April - HIGHAMS PARK SOCIETY FILM CLUB.
2.00 Cavendish Road Baptist Church. Doors open 1.30 Entry fee will be £2.00 for members (£3 for non members).
This afternoons’ film is Mrs. Miniver. This 1942 film starred Greer Garson as Mrs. Miniver and Walter Pigeon as her husband. Set in wartime England it was so popular at the time that Churchill was moved to comment that it’s propaganda value was worth a dozen battleships.
In 1942, the film won an Oscar in the Best Picture category and both Greer Garson and Teresa Wright won an Oscar each in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories respectively. An Oscar also went to our own James Hilton (Goodbye Mr. Chips) who lived in Oak Hill before the war for his screenplay.
Friday 30th April Talk by Georgina Green DICK TURPIN and his LOCAL CONNECTIONS at All Saints Church Hall, Church Avenue, Highams Park, 7.30 pm (doors open 7.00) £2 members, £3 non –members.
9th May “Lost Properties Walk”. A walk tracing the sites of some of the properties featured in our Exhibition. More details on these last two events nearer the time.
