SUMMARY:Naïve Art
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rosalind Miranda \n\n\n\nNaïve Art is usually is usually defined as art that is created by a person who lacks the formal education and training that a professional artist undergoes\, & is characterized by childlike simplicity & frankness of execution and vision. It is simple\, unaffected\, and unsophisticated. In the right hands\, however\, this does not make it any less appealing than the work of trained artists\, as you will see. Sometimes it even has extra appeal. It warms the heart and soothes the soul! \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, we’ll be looking at three artists\, one French\, one American\, & one British. Two of them didn’t start painting until their 40s\, one not until her late 70s. But today\, their works are being sold for millions.  \n\n\n\nSo\, come along\, perhaps to be inspired to take up painting or another craft in retirement. Who knows? You could be the next artistic sensation! \n\n\n\nNAÏVE ART  \n\n\n\nor \n\n\n\nLATE BLOOMERS \n\n\n\nor \n\n\n\nThere’s Hope for Us All

SUMMARY:TURKEY ISTANBUL AND AMAZING CAPPADOCIA
DESCRIPTION:Trip Leader: Coral Guise-Smith ably assisted by her Husband Ray \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI am sure some of you have already been to Turkey and possibly Istanbul but not many if any of you will have been to Cappadocia. Cappadocia\, a semi-arid region in central Turkey\, which is known for its distinctive “fairy chimneys\,” tall\, cone-shaped rock formations clustered in Monks Valley\, Göreme and elsewhere. Other notable sites include Bronze Age homes carved into valley walls by troglodytes (cave dwellers) and later used as refuges by early Christians. The 100m-deep Ihlara Canyon houses numerous rock-face churches.  The optional Hot Air Balloon ride at sunrise if you should wish to do it. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to join me and my able assistant Ray please book your place as soon as possible to reserve both your room and flights. \n\n\n\nThank you \n\n\n\nCoral \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ITINERARY is as follows:- \n\n\n\nDay 1 10/09: SPAIN TO ISTANBUL \n\n\n\nFlying from Valencia to Istanbul at 11.35 am arriving -16.35pm. \n\n\n\nArrival in Istanbul and transfer to the selected hotel.

We will head to the picturesque and colorful neighborhoods of Fener and Balat\, protected by UNESCO and considered the first settlements of ancient Constantinople. Then\, we will pass along the shore of the Golden Horn and visit the Iron Church of St. Stephen\, a Bulgarian Orthodox church in a Turkish city\, associated with the struggle for ecclesiastical independence in the 1830s and 1840s. It is the only iron Orthodox church in the world. Next\,we will visit the Grand Bazaar\, which has over 4\,500 shops specializing in different products such as jewelry and clothing. After lunch\, we will visit the Basilica of Hagia Sophia\, “DivineWisdom\,” undoubtedly one of the most fantastic buildings of all time. It was built by Constantine the Great and rebuilt by Justinian in the 6th century. Its immense dome rises 55 meters from the ground with a diameter of 31 meters. During the Ottoman Empire\, it was converted into a mosque\, and minarets were added over time. We will then visit the ancient Hippodrome from the Byzantine era\, which was the center of civil activity in the country. It hosted not only horse races and gladiator combats but also celebrations in honor of the Emperor. Today\, it preserves the Obelisk of Theodosius\, the Serpentine Column\, and the Fountain of Emperor Wilhelm. Finally\, we will visit the Blue Mosque\, built in 1609 during thereign of Sultan Ahmed\, who wanted to surpass the Hagia Sophia.

It was built between 1550 and 1557 by Sinan\, the famous architect of the Ottoman Golden Age. Then\, we will head to the ancient walls of Constantinople\, at today’s Mevlana Gate. These walls were built by Emperor Theodosius II in 413. With several floors in height and a thickness between three and six meters\, they protected the city from constant attacks by the Huns\, Bulgarians\, Russians\, Arabs\, Goths\, and Turks. The walls were only breached twice—by the Crusaders in 1204 and by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453. Next\, we will visit the Monastery of the Virgin of the Spring. According to historians Procopius and Cedrenus\, the church was originally built by Emperor Justinian in the final years of his reign near a spring once known as the “Miraculous Spring.” After lunch\, we will transfer to the port to embark on a Bosphorus Cruise\, the strait that separates two continents and connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. From the boat\, we can admire Dolmabahce Palace\, Ortakoy’s bohemian neighborhood\, the Rumeli and Anatolian Fortresses\, Beylerbeyi Palace\, traditional wooden “yali” houses\, and more.

Next\, we will visit the underground city of Ozkonak or a similar one\, built by Christian communities to protect themselves from Arab attacks. We will also stop at a carpet and kilim workshop. We continue to the Goreme Open‐Air Museum\, home to an impressive collection of rock‐hewn churches\, chapels\, and monasteries with 11th‐century frescoes\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In theafternoon\, we will visit the volcanic landscapes of Avcilar (Valley of the Hunters) and Güvercinlik (Pigeon Valley) and admire the panoramic view of Uchisar Castle\, carved into volcanic rock and dotted with tunnels and windows.We will then stop at an artisan workshop specializing in decorative items and jewelry.

SUMMARY:Elihu Yale and his Wicked Wife
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Ebsworth \n\n\n\nElihu Yale is a major figure in our history\, though now mostly forgotten. One of the first nabobs\, (a Muslim official or governor under the Mogul empire) Yale bequeathed his name to one of the world’s most famous universities. At the same time\, he left nothing to poor Catherine except the slur of branding her a “wicked wife.” But Catherine’s own background is fascinating – daughter to one of the Levant Company’s merchant adventurers who helped introduce Alicante wines to the world. Her husband’s reputation is tarnished\, however\, by his involvement\, through the East India Company\, in the Indian slave trade but the true story of Catherine and Elihu Yale is still “stranger than fiction” – as author of the Yale Trilogy\, David Ebsworth\, explains in this one-hour session.

SUMMARY:Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
DESCRIPTION:5:30pm doors open\, for 6:00pm start (ends 8:05pm) \n\n\n\nU3A Membership Card for entrance (free) – NO booking required \n\n\n\nIn the early 1970s during the Cold War\, the head of British Intelligence\, Control (Sir John Hurt)\, resigns after an operation in Budapest\, Hungary goes badly wrong. It transpires that Control believed one of four senior figures in the service was in fact a Russian Agent\, a mole\, and the Hungaryoperation was an attempt to identify which one it was. George Smiley (Gary Oldman) had been forced into retirement by Control’s departure\, but is asked by a senior government figure to investigate a story told to him by rogue Agent Ricky Tarr (Tom Hardy)\, that there was a mole. Smiley considers that the failure of the Hungary operation and the continuing success of Operation Witchcraft (an apparent source of significant Soviet Intelligence) confirms this\, and takes up the task of finding him. \n\n\n\n.

SUMMARY:Sorolla\, Benlliure and Blasco: Valencia's Greatest Painter\, Sculptor and Writer
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Peter Atkinson \n\n\n\nWe are absolutely delighted to welcome back one of our favourite speakers\, Peter Atkinson\, who is returning to this area for a short time from his new life in Canada and has kindly fitted in one of his superb talks for our members whilst here. \n\n\n\nHis presentation will explore the work and lives of these three men. Each was a brilliant and prolific artist in his field and\, remarkably\, they were all born in the city during a five-year period in the 1860s: painter\, Joaquín Sorolla y Bastide (1863-1923); sculptor\, Mariano Benlliure y Gil (1862-1947); and writer\, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez (1867-1928). They knew each other and\, without being particularly close\, they were friends. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlmost all of Joaquín’s work is oil on canvas and was mostly done outdoors under the Mediterranean sun; he is known as a “painter of light”. He painted people at work and play\, did a lot of landscapes and garden scenes\, and accepted many commissions for portraits. His family (wife and three children) were often his subjects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMariano had intended to be a painter but\, on a visit to Rome\, the work of Michelangelo inspired him to become a sculptor. While most of his work is bronze\, he was also a gifted chiseller of marble. He produced many busts and close to one hundred monumental works\, often large and complex and mostly in Spain (Valencia and Madrid in particular). \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVicente had the most varied life of the three. With 50 titles\, he was principally a novelist\, the early ones being set around the Albufera lake to the south of Valencia. He also wrote 15 non-fiction books and was a journalist; he founded a newspaper for which he wrote almost a thousand articles. And he was a left-wing\, republican politician: anti-monarchy\, anti-Church\, and anti-landowner. He spent a decade in the Cortes\, the national parliament\, and had three stints in jail. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI hope that as many members as possible will join us to enjoy this excellent speaker.
