Bloody British History by Penny Legg6/4/2023 ![]() Penny has written several books on the subject and you can learn more by logging onto her website: 15th September 2016 The very interesting and fascinating talk by Penny Legg posed the question - ' do you believe in things that go bump in the night?' There are several 'haunted' buildings in the area, Horndean, Southampton and Winchester, to name but a few and they all have a tale to tell. Much has changed over the years but it all adds to the amazing history of Portsmouth. For those who were born in the area it brought back many memories of how 'things were' way back then, and for those who weren't, got an insight into that era. Talk "Portsmouth in the 60's" by Peter KeatĮveryone enjoyed this illustrated talk on "Portsmouth in the 60's" by local author, Peter Keat. With best wishes for a Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year from Mary, Grace, Libby, Jane and Sue. The food was as close as possible to what would have been enjoyed at that time, with some enjoying the jelly with evaporated milk more than others!! We even had games - Pass the Parcel and a Paper Chain making competition - and how competitive the teams were! Our very own U3A Ukulele Group, Wacky Wednesdays, entertained us with a Festive sing-a-long and to end our afternoon a surprise visit from Father Christmas! ![]() There was a small exhibition of original toys, games, artifacts and advertising posters from that era. We ended our very enjoyable and busy year with a 1950's themed Christmas Party. ![]()
