FRANK CARLYLE
Last Friday (21st Oct) History for Fun, for the first time had an external speaker, Frank Carlyle, the Liverpool historian. He fully engrossed everyone at a well attended meeting (30 plus) with his tales of Liverpool characters and Liverpool firsts, most of which none of us knew about. We hope to rebook him in 2023
Many thanks to Eric Purvis the assistant Leader who beavered away in the background to organise the event
Look forward to see you all at the next meeting – Norman
