March Literary Meeting

Saturday 9th March 2024

An illustrated talk by our guest author Helen Grant, our 2021 Children of the Night Award winner.

 

Helen spoke to us about her lifelong love of ghost stories, with particular emphasis on the work of M. R. James. While living in Germany and France, she visited several of the locations mentioned in his stories, looking at how what is physically there compares with their description in the fictional narratives.

 

New Year Meeting

Saturday 27th January 2024

Film Evening

 

For our traditional New Year film screening, we presented the Hammer classic Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter!

Although completed in 1972, the film was not released until 1974, so it was now in its 50th anniversary year.

 

A turnout of over forty members and guests made this by far our most attended film evening in recent years.

This was boosted no doubt by the presence in person of one of the film's stars, our Honorary Life Member, Caroline Munro!

 

 

Caroline introduced the film, and answered members' questions about the making of it.

A hugely enjoyable and entertaining evening.
