SUMMARY:Summer Concert Gershwin Evening
DESCRIPTION:Words and Music That Transcend Time \n George and Ira Gershwin will always be remembered as the songwriting team whose voice was synonymous with the sounds and style of the Jazz Age. But from 1924 until George’s death in 1937\, the brothers wrote almost exclusively with each other\, composing over two dozen scores for Broadway and Hollywood. Together\, George and Ira Gershwin wrote the music for many shows and films. Some of their more famous works include “The Man I Love”\, “Fascinating Rhythm”\, “Someone to Watch Over Me”\, “I Got Rhythm”\, and “They Can’t Take That Away from Me”. In 1931\, the brothers collaborated on the score for the Broadway show\, “Of Thee I Sing\,” which became the first musical to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Their now-classic folk opera\, PORGY AND BESS (co-written with DuBose Heyward)\, is constantly revived in opera houses and theatres throughout the world. \nTo bring some special pieces of the Gershwin brothers music alive for this event we have local singer of the year Sarah Chidlow. Sarah began singing at the age of 11 years old in a small local theatre group\, currently is a member of the Birkenhead Operatic Society Trust (BOST) and has performed in many of their musical productions.  Most recently Sarah performed the role of Hope Hardcourt in ‘Anything goes’ which was performed at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton last year. In June this year she played Eliza Doolittle in the BOST production of a concert version of ‘My Fair Lady’ which was performed in the concert suite of St. George’s Hall. This is one of many venues that Sarah has performed in and around the Liverpool area. She is a keen supporter of many local charities in the Liverpool City Region and has performed for many charitable functions. \nThe evening promises to be a real spectacle\, book your place now! \nEvent Schedule \nArrival Drink —6:30 for 7:00pm \nPerformance—7:00 to 8:00pm \nSupper—8:00 to 9:00pm \nEncore in the Newsroom — 9:00 to 9:30pm \nLast Orders in the Newsroom—10:00 to 10:15pm \nBuilding Closes—11:00pm \n

SUMMARY:Arts Group
DESCRIPTION:John McClenaghen.  Painter. Tuesday 26th June 2018 at 2:00pm \n‘My work explores the phenomena of time and change within the landscape. I am interested in painting’s ability to relate experience by drawing parallels between the action of weather upon the land and the action of colour and mark upon the canvas. The main focus of my practice is in painting and drawing\, something that began when I was a student at the Glasgow School of Art.           \n  \nI tend to return to the same places again and again as I try to establish a relationship with the space through drawing and painting it over time.’ \n  \nJohn McClenaghen studied at the Glasgow School of Art he is currently Programme Leader for the BA Fine Art\, Photography and Film in the School of Creative Arts\, Glyndŵr University.

SUMMARY:The Film Group
DESCRIPTION:Guests will be treated to two films in Junes “Classic Film Group” \nSAFETY LAST (USA 1922) \nDir. by Fred Newmayer. \nStarring Harold Lloyd\, Mildred Davies. \nThis is a silent film\, with titles and a good music track\, but it is EVEN NOW one of the funniest films you can see.  Harold is  a young man from the country\, who goes to the Big City to make his fame and fortune\, and ends having to climb up a skyscraper. \n  \nAlso THE PLANK.  1967\, UK. \nA slapstick comedy following the misadventures of two builders who require a floorboard. Written and directed by Eric Sykes\, it includes most of Britain’s top comedians at that time\, including Tommy Cooper\, Jimmy Edwards\, Roy Castle\, Jimmy Tarbuck and\, of course\, Eric Sykes. \nAlthough not strictly a silent film\, it is unusual in having little dialogue. Instead\, the film is punctuated by grunts\, other vocal noises and sound effects. \nApropos of nothing\, the plank itself was sold at auction in December\, 2011 for £1050.

SUMMARY:Dinner with His Honour Simon Tonking
DESCRIPTION:We are fortunate that His Honour Simon Tonking will be joining us on Friday\, 18th May\, to speak to us after dinner. Again the time is 6.30 for 7.00 and the dress code is lounge suit. Simon is a recently-retired Circuit Judge\, and will dispel many of the mysteries surrounding the sentencing process in criminal cases in England and Wales. He is eminently qualified to do so. A former Resident Judge and Recorder of Stafford\, he also spent many years with the Judicial College teaching newly-appointed judges how to do the job\, and he is one of the authors of the manual used by all Crown Court judges when conducting trials and passing sentence. \nI can promise you that his talk will be witty and informative\, and that it will not be legalistic. I heard him deliver it to an appreciative invited audience at a packed Lichfield Cathedral. He will tell you amongst other things about the different purposes of sentencing\, which do not always sit easily together; the various forms of sentence which can be passed; the factors taken into account when deciding what sentence is appropriate; the extent to which judges and magistrates receive guidance on what sentence to pass; the practical effect of life sentences; the factors governing the release of prisoners (particularly topical in the light of the Warboys case); and the effectiveness of imprisonment in relation to rehabilitation and re-offending.\nSo come along for an enjoyable evening and enhance your knowledge at the same time. Mind you\, given the subject-matter\, you’d better behave yourselves!

SUMMARY:Architecture Group
DESCRIPTION:The Albert Dock\, \nArchitectural Gem and Jewel in the Crown \n  \nTime: 4 PM Thursday\, 17 May 2018 \nVenue: Athenaeum Library\, followed by discussions in the Newsroom. \nPresented by: David Roscoe\, Athenaeum Vice President \nThose that attended the last architectural group meeting on “Lighthouses” which ended with the festive gathering in the Newsroom will be well aware of the fine fare on offer from our new menu and the conviviality it generated. The Doppler ganging of our architectural presentation with the Third Thursday Networking event is proving to be a winning combination. \nOur next meeting promises to reach greater heights as Athenaeum vice president David Roscoe presents the background story and lesser-known history of Jesse Hartley’s architectural masterpiece. The Albert Dock was the world-class event of its day that changed the fortunes of the city and impacted world trade. Often referred to as the Jewel in the Crown of our visitor economy\, it is the centre-piece of our UNESCO World Heritage site and the largest group of Grade 1 listed buildings in the country. This not to be missed event will be well attended so get to the library early and pencil in your diary for the follow-on carousing that extends discussions into the elegant Newsroom with the enhanced hospitality now on offer. \nDavid Roscoe is Chairman of Gower Street Estates\, the management company of the Albert Dock \nProprietors may recall that they were promised a “virtual pub crawl” from Ken Pye at the last architectural meeting. Unfortunately\, for personal reasons Ken had to postpone his architectural carousing and we were illuminated by Jim Bellew’s presentation on lighthouses. The good news is\, that those with a thirst for knowledge on Liverpool’s watering holes can fill their cups of curiosity at the history group meeting at 2 o’clock on 16 May when Bob Thurlow will speak on “Inn Liverpool” a history of some of Liverpool’s pubs. Cheers! \n  \n
