At our meeting on 1st November we were entertained by Peter Wentworth who demonstrated very convincingly The Art of the Magician, interspersed with some jokes. Members were duly spellbound and tellingly, no suggestions were put forward as to how the various tricks were done. Obviously no members of The Magic Circle were present! Our speaker on 8th November will be David Thorp, whose subject will be Coolies on the Western Front – WW1. On 15th November we shall be holding our annual Christmas lunch at the Three Ways House Hotel, Mickleton. We meet at 10:00 every Thursday at The Boathouse, Evesham Rowing Club.
