The Lecture :

Following the recent publication of his biography of Gibbings, Martin Andrews will talk and illustrate the many dimensions of Gibbings' life. The talk will focus on his growing reputation as a wood-engraver after the First World War, the establishing of the Society of Wood-engravers, his years as Director of the Golden Cockerel Press and then his success as a best-selling author with his famous series of travel and river books. Gibbings was a colourful and larger than life character - an adventurer, nudist, naturalist, broadcaster, who lived life to the full.

So, please join us for what promises to be a lively and visually very engaging evening.

Tickets on sale at the door: £5 (to include a glass of wine!) or £3 for concessions.
