SUMMARY:Monthly Talk: Whatever Happened to Our Language?
DESCRIPTION:Clichés\, platitudes\, absence of meaning and poor delivery in today’s spoken communication\nWhy is it that those involved in public speaking\, particularly those whose job it is to present programmes on radio and television\, as well as those taking part\, tend to fall into patterns of largely meaningless language? \nThe talk looks at these patterns\, notes how they reduce or dull our ability to effectively communicate\, and suggests what we can do to improve things. \nRoger Rose is a retired barrister whose professional career was spent mainly in the practice and teaching of drafting legislation. After a number of years at the English Bar he worked in Malawi\, and then Kenya\, where he became First Parliamentary Counsel. \nHe has also had a career in amateur and professional acting\, and has given many talks locally. His other interests include singing\, and birdwatching\, for both of which he leads HGS u3a groups.

SUMMARY:Monthly Talk: The Private Mr Handel
DESCRIPTION:Based on Helen Dymond’s acclaimed novel Finding Handel\, this illustrated talk explores the private life of the great composer. Firmly rooted in historical fact\, it reveals surprising stories of Handel’s friendships\, loves\, faith\, musical triumphs and failures\, and his struggle with failing sight in his later years. \nHelen Dymond is a former Humanities lecturer and singer with the Handel Opera Chorus. She has written three successfully performed plays about Handel and is also the author of Finding Handel\, a novel inspired by the composer’s later life. The book was first published in 2021 and republished in 2025.
