Local library writing events in Kirklees

Diane Green has just informed me of some local writing events taking place around Kirklees which I thought I would share with my followers:

Thursday 29th November, 1pm – 3pm at Cleckheaton Library

Culture Club Where life gets more interesting for the over 55s.  A joint event from Kirklees Libraries and Culture Club

The over 55’s are invited to Coffee and… a muddy history of Great Britain – a local view on Thursday 29^th November 2012.  ‘The Muddy Archaeologist’ Gillian Hovell will take us on a trip through time – from prehistory to the 20th century - exploring the world we live in today with a fresh, eye-opening approach.  This lively, entertaining and engaging talk might even get us in the mood to go for a walk around Cleckheaton if anyone has caught the bug!  To be recommended; Gillian who has been on the Time Team gives an enthusiastic and fascinating presentation.
