  • A Stroll Down Whitehall. Join us for a fascinating journey through the rich history of Whitehall, a street that has shaped centuries of British power and pageantry. Once the site of the majestic Palace of Whitehall—the principal residence of English monarchs from 1530 until it was lost to fire in 1698—this area has evolved from royal grandeur to political heartland. The site was acquired by Henry VIII from Cardinal Wolsey and transformed into one of the largest and most opulent palaces in Europe. Under monarchs like Elizabeth I, Whitehall became a centre of court life, diplomacy, and cultural splendour. Today, only the magnificent Banqueting House, designed by Inigo Jones in 1622, survives. Now synonymous with the British government, "Whitehall" is home to powerful institutions like the Ministry of Defence and the Cabinet Office and serves as a metonym for UK political leadership. Our speaker, Peter Whitehead, brings this history to life. With over 40 years in the Civil Service, Peter now volunteers at cultural and historical landmarks including the Charles Dickens Museum, The Royal Academy, The Charterhouse, and The Guards Museum.
  • Maintaining Brain Health in Retirement. An online presentation by Professor Colin Terrell at 2-3 pm. Professor Terrell is a semi-retired Consultant Psychologist who has worked in hospitals in London, Oxford, and Cheltenham. He has also worked as a University Research Professor focusing on maintaining brain health. The talk focuses on simple, practical, and enjoyable ways in which those in later middle age and/or retirement can keep the brain healthy. (It is important to note that the talk does not contain any mention of the dire effects of dementia or Alzheimer's.) The Professor has given talks to Probus Clubs, Women's Institutes, u3a groups, Lions Clubs, Round Tables, Rotary Clubs, Business Clubs, plus GP in-service training courses.
