Our speaker in February is well-known retired airline pilot Richard Poad. In 1993 he was one of the founders of Maidenhead Heritage Centre and has become known as Maidenhead ‘Mr Heritage’. His talk will chart film making in the area from the pre-war years to the present day, when of necessity it has to stray into television as well. Lots of film clips will prompt lots of nostalgic memories.
When he’s not doing heritage things, Richard escapes to his garden or his narrow boat which he keeps on the Thames at Cookham Dean.
This talk will be held as usual at the Desborough Bowling Club at 10 Green Lane, Maidenhead SL6 1XZ and will start at our normal time of 2.30pm promptly. Please aim to arrive between 2.00 and 2.15pm.
