A Schoolgirl's War - A Talk by Mary Smith

An invitation from Bookham U3A Social History Group to a talk by Mary Smith.

Mary Smith is returning to Bookham to reprise her talk about school life during World War Two; recorded by art teacher Miss Helen Keen with her paintings and drawings at Maidstone Grammar School for Girls.

Mary was the Headteacher of the school between 2006 – 2015 and on her retirement researched the events and drawings of Helen Keen’s war. Her very entertaining and informative talk is based on Helen’s art work and gives us a window into 1940s school life when the country was fighting for its very survival.

Mary’s talk ‘A Schoolgirl’s War’ will have you gasping at the ingenuity of lessons in air raid shelters while bombs dropped all around and the idiosyncrasies of officialdom – ignored when necessary.  All illustrated by Helen Keen’s very perceptive paintings and doodles.

 Doors open at 09.30 am  Talk 10.30am - 11.30am

The Old Barn Hall, Church Road, Bookham, KT23 3PQ

£5.00 on the door

Tea and coffee will be on offer

For more information and to book contact brianwilliams14@btinternet.com

Mary Hughes

It is with sadness that we have to pass on the news that Mary Hughes has died. Mary was an outstanding programme secretary and to her credit she quietly developed the eclectic programme that we now appreciate.

The service was held in St Nicolas church and we, The Arts Society, provided a flower arrangement although we are in Lent. Her family were most appreciative of this gesture .
