ASHES TO LIGHT (A HOLOCAUST CHILDHOOD TO LIFE IN MUSIC) – NELLY BEN-OR

This is a presentation in commemoration of Yom Hashoah. Nelly Ben-Or, who lives in Northwood, was born in 1933 in Lwow in Poland.  She is an international concert pianist and a professor at the Guild Hall School for Music & Drama.  This is the story of her life during the war when she and her mother spent the entire duration avoiding the Germans, and her readjustment to a foreign environment on arriving in England some years later.

THE KRAY TWINS – JAMES MORTON

Twin brothers, Ronnie & Reggie Kray, were English gangsters who were the foremost perpetrators in organised crime in London during the 1950’s and ‘60’s.  James will be reminding us of some of the events which happened not too far away from where some of us lived.

WHAT A CARRY ON – GEOFF BOWDEN & DAVID REED

Originally planned for 6^th December but postponed through illness. 

The one and only Geoff Bowden and David Reed return to give their take on the stars of this popular series of films.  No need to go into the many household names of all the actors and actresses who regularly took part.  Come along and relive the memories and be reminded of the artists who combined to make the ‘Carry On’ films a unique part of British film history.
