September’s talk was a hugely enjoyable occasion with Ray Allen, creator of Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em.  An audience of 70 was almost rolling in the aisles, hearing of Ray’s many mishaps and tales of woe trying to get S M D ‘A ‘E taken up by broadcasters.  It is to be hoped that both the Society and Yelf’s Hotel remain in business, as Ray’s track record of putting the kiss of death on his previous places of employment is somewhat worrying.

Thanks to David and his team for the organisation of the event, Yelf’s for allowing free use of the room, and special thanks to Ray for waiving his ‘appearance fee’, thus enabling the whole of the magnificent total of £334 from ticket sales and the raffle to go towards the ongoing work in the Centre.
