Kennet & Swindon Arts Society Lecture – A Right Royal Christmas

THE ARTS SOCIETY KENNET & SWINDON

The society is still operating very robustly  but on zoom for the immediate  future.  We welcome all existing members and would be delighted to have guests for whom we make a charge of £5.

The next meeting of the Society will take place on zoom promptly at 11.00 on Monday January 18^th. The site will be open from 10 00. 

The lecture: A RIGHT ROYAL CHRISTMAS.   Our royal families have always celebrated Christmas throughout their long history. Feasting on a spectacular scale characterised the medieval  Christmas; full of culinary delicacies often of great originality, while lavish present-giving always marked the season. Royal Christmas traditions  have, in many cases, become a familiar  element of our own celebrations. 

The lecturer:  Roger Askew was a chorister at Wells cathedral and then a choral scholar at Magdalen College Oxford, where he read English. Having obtained a further degree in music, Roger became Director of Music at Daniel Stewart’s and Melville College in Edinburgh. On retiring in 2003 he moved south again and lives near Windsor.

Looking forward to welcoming you.
