After the Bank Holiday break (there is no meeting on Mon 4th May), Stumperlowe Probus Club’s popular programme of talks continues when Dr David Bogod describes his passion for wildlife photography on Monday, 11th May.
Apart from being a wildlife photographer, David is a retired consultant anaesthetist from Nottingham and, probably more importantly to what is expected to be another full house at Fulwood Sports Club, an accomplished raconteur.
This is a taster of the standard we can expect from David’s portfolio, taken in Botswana in 2022.
In a change to our original schedule, on Monday, 18th May, we welcome the return of local historian Peter Machan who will talk to us on “the last of the Little Mesters.”
Peter has charted the heritage of the Sheffield cutlery industry for the last 40 years. Peter’s father was a partner in the 1950s in the well-known company of Swann Morton, who still produce no few than one and a half million scalpel blades A DAY for the global medical market.
Except where a Bank Holiday disrupts the sequence, Stumperlowe Probus Club meet on the first and third Monday of every month in the bar of Fulwood Sports Club. We gather at 10am for complimentary coffee or tea, with the main business of the morning starting at 10.30am. Out of an active membership of 60, we regularly have attendances of 40 or more, so come early to claim your seat.
