SUMMARY:Coming to England
DESCRIPTION:The UK tour of the stage adaptation of Floella Benjamin’s much-loved book\, Coming to England\, will head to Lighthouse Pool in February 2025. \n\nThis vibrant and energetic new play with music from Nicoll Entertainment and MAST Mayflower Studios tells Floella’s personal story of moving to England in the 1960s at the age of 10. Coming to England is an inspiring tale about determination and perseverance from which hope and triumph emerge during the Windrush Generation and is being adapted for the stage by David Wood OBE\, one of the country’s leading writers and directors of plays and musicals for children.\n\nAt the age of just 10\, Floella and her siblings left Trinidad and sailed alone to join their parents in England. But Floella’s excitement for her new life is short-lived\, with her family subjected to racism and intolerance in 1960s London. Guided by her mother\, and working twice as hard as her classmates\, Coming to England tells the story of how a young Floella overcame adversity and grew to become Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham.\n\nAges: 7+\nNotes: This production includes strong language and historically accurate racially abusive language

SUMMARY:Death and Service – a talk by Richard Cooper-Wright
DESCRIPTION:There are more than 800 First World War graves in over 240 cemeteries and churchyards across Somerset. Each of the names on those gravestones has a story connected to it\, a story of family and of tragedy\, a story of life on the battlefield and of love on the home front. Richard will be uncovering the lives of those who are buried in and around Milborne Port\, commemorating those who gave their all more than a century ago. \nRichard has had a love for photography for more than 20 years\, building a long-lasting blog and rescuing antique photographs and cartes de visite from junk shops. A keen amateur genealogist\, he has drawn his two passions together\, researching First World War graves in the churchyards and cemeteries across the south of England. When not traipsing around muddy graveyards\, Richard has a penchant for real ale and folk music. \n \n\nAll talks take place in Church House on Bathwell Lane\, starting at 7.30pm and last for approximately an hour. We ask for a suggested donation of £2 per member & £5 per non-member.
