Whitechapel Society Meeting 2nd August

[aspallek]

I will try to attend Aug 2 and bring crude printouts of the photos I found at the Winchester College archives. These are unpublished photos of Montague Druitt anywhere from age 13 to 18. Some are group photos which give a good idea of Montague's size.

Hi All,
Tomorrows WS meeting should be a really good one following hot on the heels of the superb Sarah Wise last time out.

We look forward to seeing all our members both old and new at the Aldgate Excange!

Cheers,
Frogg.

Just a Reminder

Tomorrow night the Whitechapel Society holds its next meeting.

The speaker is Fiona Kendall-Lane - great-granddaughter of John McCarthy
(Mary kelly's landlord) and granddaughter of the celebrated music hall star Marie Kendall.

Fiona will be bringing along a lot of family memoriabilia including the first known photograph of John McCarthy.

Be there if you can.

Hi Coral,
I have never attended one of your meetings,although they sound really interesting.
Unfortunately,I am going camping overnight on Saturday at the coast.Come rain or shine.I always get really spooked and think I can hear something getting closer.So I end up on the beach shivering and shaking,cuddling the dog.Why is it blokes can sleep through anything,he even gets excited at the prospect of rain!!
Hope you have a lovely evening.
Love to you all.
ANNA.

So sorry to here that Christian - what would an August WS meeting be without our Bavarian friend. Hopefully everything will be sorted out within the next few days.

Hopefully this time next week, those who can,will not be on their computers and will be at the Aldgate Exchange to hear Fiona Kendall-Lane talking about her great-grandfather, John McCarthy.

Judging by the response I have had from pm's and emails, it would seem that this meeting will be standing room only.

Hope to see you there.

Hi Fiona

Doors to the downstairs function room at the Aldgate Exchange PH open at
7pm. The talk should start at about 7.45.

We have an entry for non-members of £5 which is payable on the night.

It would work out cheaper to join the Society for £9 per annum - this will give you access to all the meetings. Should you not be able to attend, our bi-monthly Journal will be posted to you.

Hi Coral

What time does the talk start? And do non-members have to purchase tickets?

Kind regards
Fiona (not Kendall!)

Now this is big. Those of us located far from London can only hope that a copy of the McCarthy photo will eventually appear in the Journal. (Ask her, ask her!)

Hi Coral -

Raffle this time out? Always seem to win. Hope so. Sorry about grammar. Late and bit worse for wear. Grammar inevitably goes first. Second, one becomes royal conspiracist.

Next, I say a real photo of Sir William Gull!

Oh...
