We know Arthur Conan Doyle as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, but his life extended far beyond his famous fictional detective. Come along to this fascinating illustrated talk on Wednesday 18 November at 2pm at Minsterley Parish Hall, Eurwyn Pierce Jones explores Doyle’s remarkable contribution to forensic science, his many and varied interests, and his connections with Mid Wales. Eurwyn also brings a Welsh perspective, having translated Conan Doyle’s celebrated The Speckled Band into Welsh.

How does a childhood hobby become a lifelong passion for natural history tracking? For our October u3a meeting at Minsterley Parish Hall, join us for a wonderfully unique, humorous presentation by Ric (famously known online as '@Skull_Bloke') for his talk, Confessions of a Teenage Skull Collector. Ric uses his massive, private collection of animal bones to unlock the mysteries of British wildlife.

Following the session, refreshments will be provided, offering a chance to catch up or learn more about our u3a. Members and visitors are warmly invited to attend. Free for members. Voluntary donations from visitors welcome.
