SUMMARY:Library Talks l “Three Nicholson Women” (Edie and daughters Anne and Liza) with Tim Newman
DESCRIPTION:Our next Library talk will be with Tim Newman\, as he discusses “Three Nicholson Women (Edie and daughters Anne and Liza)”. This will take place in the Reading Room from 2pm-3pm on Wednesday 12th November. \nFocusing particularly on Anne (Stuart-Wortley) and her artwork\, this talk aims to bring out from the sidelines three less well known members of the extended Nicholson family. It is based on Tim’s fortuitous meeting with Liza in the summer of 1975\, and their friendship and adventures from then on which led to his friendship with Anne until her death in 2005. \nThis very personal and anecdotal presentation weaves together Tim’s friendships with both daughters\, each of whom had connections to the far west of Cornwall. Anne attended several painting holidays with Charles Breaker\, whilst Liza made regular visits to stay with Tim in and around Penzance. \nTickets are allocated by a ballot system. \nPlease email enquiries@morrablibrary.org.uk or call 01736 364474 to be entered into the ballot for a ticket. The ballot closes on Monday 3rd November. \nEntry to this event is free but donations are welcomed to help support The Morrab Library (suggested £5).

SUMMARY:Relaxed Relaxed Book Group at The Morrab Library
DESCRIPTION:About the group: \nA friendly group for anyone who loves books but doesn’t want the pressure of a traditional book club. \nRather than reading a specific book\, we share what’s on our bookshelf or simply come for tea\, biscuits and company in the beautiful book-filled atmosphere of The Morrab library. \nNo library membership is required and there’s no compulsory reading list. \nAudiobook listeners are just as welcome as traditional readers. \nWe explore all types of books\, swap books and share recommendations. Our discussions focus on what we’re looking for in a book and whether and when\, we’ve found it. \nWhen: The last Tuesday of the month\, from 2pm-3pm. The first session will take place on Tuesday 25th March \nWhere: The Morrab Library\, Morrab Gardens\, Penzance\, TR18 4DA \nHow to book: To join the group contact Jo Buckingham by email jo.buckingham.palace@gmail.com\nSuggested donation £3. \nAbout the group leader: \nJoanna Buckingham started her first relaxed book group with friends in 2019 and got the idea of starting one at Morrab Library when working as a social prescriber as a way of creating supportive communities. \nShe loves the camaraderie and support of doing things in groups and the immersive experience of reading. She loves reading widely across many genres. \nShe’s organised group events and experiences in such diverse locations as tall ships and tin mines. \nJoanna has set up and supported numerous groups whilst working in the museum and adventurous activity industry and as a social prescriber. \nShe is a level 3 trained counsellor and knows the importance of both being a good listener and having a good book to fall back on in times of need (Cold Comfort farm by Stella Gibbons always works for her)
