The four planned walks around Kirby Muxloe are now all fully sold out!
Having gone on one myself on Thursday evening I can see why, Leigh is very knowledgeable and entertaining, so the walk around Kirby Fields was really interesting and enjoyable.

For anyone planning on going who has missed out two further dates have been added. I highly recommend getting booked on. 🚶🚶‍♀️

The Life and Crimes of Agatha Christie - Tuesday 20th January

What a great talk this was and so well supported by members and visitors alike. Mark took us on a journey through Agatha's life from early childhood and home education, marriages and loss of her parents explaining what influenced Agatha's writing and how the writing changed as she matured and experiences shaped her. He talked us through so many of her books, 66 of which were detective novels, I believe he has read every one! His talk wasn't just about books though, Agatha was a complex woman who served as a nurse in World War 1 and trained in dispensing, gaining an expert knowledge of poisons (very useful to her writing!), she loved, lost and learnt to love again whilst also discovering a great love of travel and houses buying many throughout her life and decorating them to her taste.
A thoroughly entertaining talk.

If you would like to join us next time: Tuesday 17th March,
John Flower - The Leicester Artist.
