SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday March 27th\nDavid Skillern ‘The Bentley Boys – The Playboy Racers’\n\nIn 1919 Walter Owen Bentley built his first motor car. It was the beginning of one of the most charismatic marques in motor racing. But equally fascinating are the men-about-town who drove these magnificent cars: Woolf Barnato\, Tim Birkin\, Glenn Kidston\, Dudley Benjafield and others. Their exploits\, on and off the track\, led to their name “The Bentley Boys”. They summed up the devil may care attitude of the Roaring Twenties. In this talk David will look at how the Bentley Boys came to dominate racing\, especially Le Mans – illustrated with photographs of the men and their wonderful machines.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 30th\nJanuary Ian Keable “James Gillray – The First Ever Political Cartoonist”. Hopefully it will be third time lucky when Ian Keable visits Towcester in January. On the first occasion his PowerPoint failed to work and a second planned visit had to be cancelled for personal reasons.\nHis subject is James Gillray; The First Ever Political Cartoonist. James Gillray succeeded William Hogarth as the primary satirist of the 18th Century\, not only taking caricaturing to a new height but also refining the format of the cartoon to one that we are now familiar with.\nCombined with his brilliant draughtmanship and engraving skills was a love of modern and classical art and literature which he seamlessly weaved into the subject matter of his prints.
