7th July – Qualifications None, but Achievements Many! – Allan Shalks

Allan shares stories about his life experiences, which start with him almost being orphaned when his parents were in a severe car crash, yet despite all odds, he was running three businesses at the age of 22, leading to a successful business career. More recently he became a wedding planner, appearing in a BBC2 documentary about weddings, has also appeared in films and other TV shows, and is now a regular radio presenter on Salford City Radio.

21st July – Rhubarb, Royalty and the Rings of Saturn – David Lewis

Local historan, David Lewis, has lived alongside the B1222 road for over 30 years. This presentation is a travelogue covering the history and heritage to be found along this unassuming Yorkshire byway. The place of the “new Charlemagne”, a lookout post for the end of the world, and the Cassini-Huygens space probe – all this and much else will feature in the talk.
