There were two brilliant meetings held in November.

The first meeting was Movie Themed Magic, with Steve Meredith as our host. He spoke about the history of cinema, mentioning early special effects and use of technology. After performing an effect or two he invited the members to perform and we saw some terrific magic from Jim, Chris, Garry Dave Anderson, Jeff and Jono, with Steve showing other items in between them. When the clock ticked past ten and most of those who wanted to perform had done, Steve summed the night up, thanked everyone and handed back to Garry. Garry mentioned doing shows in cinemas, particularly before Harry Potter films were shown, among others. He thanked Steve and all of the presenters for another good evening which he said he thoroughly enjoyed.

The second meeting was our Annual Show with the organisation and publicity done by by Dave Goulding and Eoin Smith, with Eoin and Jono Geary hosting the rooms. This year we presented no less than ten performers: Steve Meredith, Dave Anderson, Carl Howse, Jim Aitken, Paul Rae, Scott Clegg, Douglas Cairns, Chris Begg, James Dickson and Garry Seagraves. The audience thoroughly enjoyed each and every act and, as always, had great fun at the raffle which was presented by Garry and Ivor Smith. Our thanks go to Maureen who looked after the door, verified tickets and collecfted money and to Jenny, Margaret and Tara for selling raffle tickets. This was our most successful show for a few years and bodes well for our Centenary year in 2026.
