THE MICKLETON SOCIETY: The society welcomed back Mr Max Fawcett as its speaker for the November meeting. As an ex-headmaster of an inner city primary school in Birmingham, he was able to draw effortlessly on a wealth of experiences to convey moments of drama, humour and pathos to his audience, whose warm appreciation of the talk was expressed by Dr Brian Wall in his word of thanks. The next meeting of the society will be the Christmas supper on December 3. Tickets are available from the treasurer, Mr Tom Pring.
