 OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS
Meet the Group Leaders with Coffee from 10.00am, and perhaps take the opportunity to renew your membership. Followed at 11.00am with a talk by Anna Sutherland. ‘Old Dog, New Tricks’ has something for everyone. It will make you think and make you smile, it may even bring a tear to your eye. It contains personal and entertaining recollections of a changing career moving from kids to kidding, theatre to
therapy, drama to dinner. Being levitated into the sky, disappearing into the air, taking on the mantle of Miss Marple and working with disadvantaged Asian children are just some of the highlights of Anna Sutherland’s dramatic career. Lyme Regis U3A, Woodmead Hall
