Imagine it to be Thursday January 1st 1959. You’ve seen in the New Year, and although January the 1st didn’t become an official Bank Holiday until 1974 I’d like to think that what ever you had to do that day wasn’t too strenuous. But even if it was, and provided you were up for two fun nights in a row you’d no doubt have been looking forward to being “heartily welcomed” at the Moortown Baptist Church, Men’s Circle Games Evening.
The following Thursday MBC’s then Minister, Rev. F. W. Bond was delivering one of his Men of the Bible talks – this one featuring Jeremiah – later in the term he would focus on Peter and Paul.
I must admit though that some of titles attributed to these weekly gatherings have left me somewhat flummoxed. While on March the 12th An Officer of the N.A.B talking about National Assistance is more or less self explanatory, some other topics such as “Soaring Flight” on Jan 15th, “Push Button” on February 12th and “Winged Travellers” the following week almost make me wish I could have been there.
