SUMMARY:Serendipity
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alan Hunton \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSerendipity is a remarkable phenomenon which describes a most beneficial outcome achieved purely by chance. We will see that a significant number of scientific discoveries throughout history have been made by mistake; such that the intended result failed but the unintended consequence was so dramatic and useful to society that the researcher was then awarded a Nobel prize. \n\n\n\nA well-known example is that of the work of Alexander Fleming who had the foresight to realise that the mouldy formation that appeared in a petri dish that he had forgotten to clean could be useful. At the time he was not studying antibiotics but he understood there was potential and penicillin has since saved millions of lives. \n\n\n\nIn this talk we will look at ten different Eureka moments in history and we can ask the question\, do the people who made such discoveries deserve the recognition and reward given that they stumbled upon the outcomes?

SUMMARY:EDWARD HOPPER and HIS MUSE: alienation and subjugation
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Rosalind Miranda \n\n\n\nEdward Hopper\, the best-known American realist of the inter-war period\, painted the world as an alienating\, often vacuous place\, with everyone in his works appearing terribly alone. Many of his paintings are instantly recognisable.What is less known is that his wife of 43 years\, Josephine Nivison Hopper\, was famous as an artist before he was\, having her paintings exhibited alongside those of Modigliani\, Picasso\, and Man Ray\, and that it was she who started getting him exhibited.So\, are two artists who marry going to enjoy and build on each other’s successes? Come along and find out.

SUMMARY:The life and works of David Hockney
DESCRIPTION:Due to a cancellation\, I have decided to repeat this talk\, which I previously gave approximately six years ago\, about my favourite artist\, the lad from Bradford\, David Hockney. \n\n\n\nIt is a remarkable story concerning a man from a very normal background who progresses through life to become one of the best-known artists in the world\, is voted as the most influential British artist of all time by 1\,000 of his fellow artists and who’s art sells for hundreds of millions of pounds. \n\n\n\nInitially his art appears to be quite simple but it is soon seen to be full of detail and each work tells a story. \n\n\n\nDavid is also famous for designing wonderful sets and scenery for major operas around the world. \n\n\n\nHe has recently moved to live in Normandy\, France and his art work there featuring much of the countryside near his home is a delight.

SUMMARY:Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755-1842)\, the foremost woman artist of her age
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Angela Chantry \n\n\n\nMarie-Antoinette-and-her-children\n\n\n\nElisabeth Vigée Le Brun exerted her considerable charm to become the friend\, and then official portraitist\, of Marie Antoinette. Though profitable\, this role made her a public and controversial figure\, and in 1789 it precipitated her exile. In a Europe torn by strife and revolution\, she nevertheless managed to thrive as an independent\, self-supporting artist\, doggedly setting up studios in Rome\, Naples\, Venice\, Milan\, Vienna\, St. Petersburg\, and London. \n\n\n\nElisabeth Vigée Le Brun was a singularly gifted and high-spirited woman during the revolutionary era\, connected with such personalities of her age as Catherine the Great\, Napoleon\, and Benjamin Franklin. Long overlooked\, Vigée Le Brun’s portraits now hang in the Louvre\, as well as in all leading art museums of the world.

SUMMARY:Joy Adamson (1910-1980): naturalist\, artist and author.
DESCRIPTION:Friederike Victoria “Joy” Adamson was a passionate\, temperamental and controversial woman. Although she married three times and was an infamous seducer\, she never experienced happiness with any of her husbands or lovers. She won international renown with her African wildlife books\, especially the trilogy describing how\, together with her last husband\, George Adamson\, she raised a lion cub\, Elsa\, and returned it to its natural habitat. All three were best sellers that were later developed into films and condensed into one volume as The Story of Elsa (1966). \n\n\n\nDuring her lifetime\, she created more than 500 paintings and line drawings. Her work included portraits of the indigenous populations commissioned by the government of Kenya\, as well as botanical illustrations for at least seven books on East African flora. She also produced animal paintings\, among them studies of Elsa and Pippa. \n\n\n\nJoy Adamson pioneered the movement to preserve African wildlife but was murdered by a disgruntled employee in 1980. Her husband\, George Adamson was killed by animal poachers in 1989. In 2004\, however\, in an extraordinary prison cell interview\, his first since he was jailed for Adamson’s killing\, Paul Nakware Ekai claimed that Joy Adamson was a ‘very hot-tempered’ boss\, and that he killed her after she shot him for complaining about not being paid. An article in The Guardian\, February 2004\, raised the question: Was Joy Adamson an angel of mercy… or a tyrant?

SUMMARY:Cancelled - The History of the Automobile
DESCRIPTION:La Marquise 1884. The oldest car in the world which is still running.\n\n\n\nMost historians agree that Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot of France was the constructor of the first true automobile. Cugnot’s vehicle was a huge\, heavy\, steam-powered tricycle\, and his model of 1769 was said to have run for 20 minutes at 2.25 miles (3.6 km) per hour while carrying four people. He could have had little idea how the Automobile was to develop and advance in following years. \n\n\n\nThis talk details how the automobile advanced from a simple idea to the developments in the 1920’s to today’s sophisticated vehicles. \n\n\n\nIt is an entirely non-technical talk and should be of considerable interest to the ladies in our group as well as their\, perhaps\, their more enthusiastic husbands! \n\n\n\n\nThe Latest Rolls Royce Phantom\n\n\n\nMercedes Concept Car

SUMMARY:We’ll always have Paris
DESCRIPTION:Travel back in time to the years of the Second World War – as you’ve almost certainly never known them before. \n\n\n\nAuthor David Ebsworth tells the “stranger than fiction” stories behind his 2021 novel\, A Betrayal of Heroes. \n\n\n\nTales of Casablanca and Brazzaville\, of the Spaniards who fought for Free France\, of the 1940s celebrities and spies who fill the novel’s pages. Prepare to be amazed! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid is a very accomplishes speaker and he certainly entertained our members extremely well the last time he addressed us. \n\n\n\nOne not to be missed!

SUMMARY:The History of Ice on Planet Earth
DESCRIPTION:Our planet has been completely ice free for most of its 4.5-billion-year history. \n\n\n\nSo\, the fact that we have ice caps in Greenland and in Antarctica today is unusual. \n\n\n\nIn the first part of this talk we will see how it was possible for events to change so that that ice covered most of the planet on at least two separate occasions. \n\n\n\nIn the second part we will look more closely at the relatively recent ice ‘age’ which was (only) 30000 years ago but it is significant as it represents the period when modern man finally settled in Europe. \n\n\n\nWe will also take a brief look at the ‘Little’ ice age of the 17th century when the Thames froze.

SUMMARY:Architecture and Public Art in the Valencian Community
DESCRIPTION:We shall take a tour of the Comunidad Valenciana\, one of the 17 Autonomous Communities into which Spain is divided; it is made up of three provinces: Valencia\, Alicante and Castellón. We’ll visit the three principal cities (the provincial capitals) and we’ll explore a range of other towns and villages across the region\, from Orihuela in the south\, close to the border with Murcia\, to Benicarló in the north\, close to Catalonia. \n\n\n\nWe’ll look at some of the more interesting and attractive buildings\, and at the art that greets the visitor in public places – murals and sculptures. The main focus will be the Marina Alta\, the area around and inland from Dénia\, Jávea and Moraira. Among many others\, the featured artists include Toni Marí from Jávea\, a prolific and innovative sculptor in iron\, and Tardor Roselló\, a brilliant young muralist from La Xara\, Dénia.

SUMMARY:Pauline Gower. Pioneering Leader of the Spitfire WomenA&H Template event
DESCRIPTION:Pauline Gower was the leader of the Spitfire women\, a wartime sisterhood: a group of courageous pioneers who took exceptional risks to fly Spitfires\, Hurricanes and Lancasters to the frontlines of World War II. The 168 women of the Air Transport Auxiliary came from many countries and backgrounds. Although most were not allowed into combat\, they demonstrated astonishing bravery; flying unarmed without radios or instruments and at the mercy of the weather and enemy aircraft\, they delivered battle-ready planes to RAF fighter pilots. \n\n\n\nPauline Gower was a clear leader of her time and her story is one of bravery\, fortitude and political persuasion. She died after giving birth\, at only 36\, a life cut tragically short\, but one of significant achievements. Pauline left a huge legacy for women in aviation.
