In the New Year we are launching an occasional series of Villager Talks in the Littlebury Green Community Hub. Local residents will talk about, and respond to questions, on issues or subjects they’ve been involved with at various points in their lives. Everyone welcome from our local communities: no charge for admission, with wine available by donation.

Paul Gray spent over 2 years as one of Margaret Thatcher’s Private Secretaries in Downing Street. Come and hear some possibly unexpected and surprisingly amusing things about what the Iron Lady was really like behind the famous black door. Paul is not intending to talk about her politics, but will focus on Thatcher as a person and someone to work for at close quarters, plus some of the realities of life in No 10.

Charting the Wild West
Bob Bradfield moved from a job in finance in the City to an MBE for plumbing the watery depths of the West Coast of Scotland! Bob gives lots of talks aimed at yachtsmen, but this one will be pitched at those who know nothing about boats or the sea. Come and learn about what he does and his entertaining adventures of the past 15 years, all illustrated with some great slides.
