Philosophy in May
This month we will look in a little more depth into Simone Weill, the 20th century French philosopher. We also hope to start a relook at Plato, in particular his REPUBLIC and how this may or may not relate
to present day society.
Remember philosophy is just what you do when you sit and think about things. No expertise needed. All welcome.

Rock and Roll
Last months THE HISTORY OF ROCK & ROLL with DAVY EDGE was a great success with a full (Kensington) house. He sang 10 songs starting with Elvis and finishing with Bob Dylan plus some of his own poetry and a good time was had by all.
This months 19 May talk will be THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE presented by John Blundell b.s.c (pharm) No doubt it will be an interesting subject with the usual questions afterwards.
