Clive Aronson will be giving a unique insight into the musicals we all know and love. He has had his own radio programme (which he started purely as a charity one-off eventduring lockdown last year) which has proved so successful that he now runs it weekly with a different slant each session.
Clive will illustrate the music with clips, both visual and on audio. The session will be divided as follows:
10.15.-10.30 Entry to the meeting
10.30 –11.15 Music from the Musicals
11.15 –11.30 Short break
11.30 –12.15 Hooray for Hollywood

TVN - Understanding Architecture Event
Monday, 25th January & Tuesday, 26th January 2021 on Zoom
Closing date Friday 18th January 2021
£5.00 per application for the two days
This event proved so popular in September that we are repeating it.
The aim of these presentations is to inform members how to “read” buildings, how to understand
what they are seeing and what it symbolises; also to provide a brief history of architectural progress
from 18th century to modern times. It is hoped this will enrich your future travels at home and
abroad.
We are very fortunate to have Dr Geoffrey Tyack, FSA, FRHistS as our speaker for both days. He is
a Fellow Emeritus of Kellogg College and President of the Oxfordshire Architectural and Historical
Society. He has many publications to his credit and considerable experience teaching groups of all
ages. Each of these four lectures will be around 45 minutes in length, copiously illustrated with
photographs and allowing 15 minutes for questions afterwards.
