  • The Jeremy Beadle Lecture Oct 2009

    THE WHITECHAPEL SOCIETY
    PRESENT
    ‘THE JEREMY BEADLE LECTURE’
    IN AID OF
    CHILDREN WITH LEUKAEMIA RESEARCH

    SATURDAY 3rd OCTOBER 2009 – 7.30pm
    The Aldgate Exchange,
    Whitechapel High Street, London E1

    The Whitechapel Society is London’s premier society for the study of
    Jack the Ripper and Victorian/Edwardian social history. We host 6 meetings a year, each with a guest speaker and all in London’s East End – the London of Jack the Ripper.
    The society has members from all walks of life and included the television personality
    Jeremy Beadle, who died in 2008. Jeremy was a most respected member and friend of the
    Whitechapel Society and over the years he offered us his support and advice on many
    society issues. As a mark of our gratitude to Jeremy, this special Lecture will be in
    aid of the charity he worked so hard for, Children with Leukaemia Research.

    The Jeremy Beadle Lecture will be entitled ‘Jack the Redeemer’ and presented by the best selling crime writer ROBIN ODELL.

    “The Whitechapel Murders threw a spotlight on the social conditions of
    London’s East End and served as a springboard to much-needed reform.
    Running in parallel were pioneering achievements in medicine and
    developments in forensic science, which had a bearing on both public
    health and crime reduction in the district.”

    Other attractions at this event will include the book launch of a new limited edition publication, ’Written and Red - The Jack the Ripper Lectures’
    by Robin Odell.
    Each limited edition book will be
    numbered & signed by Robin – a real collectors item!

    Raffle & auction in aid of Leukaemia Research and lots more surprises!

    Free entry to Whitechapel Society members and £5.00 to non-members

    A very good meeting it was last night, raising lots of money.

    Here's some photos I took.

                Looks like Robin is marking your homework Philip.

                No photos of Monty at the upcoming conf...unless you pay.

                Looks like the WS had a good meet, am I right?

                  Hi Monty and all,

                  It was a fantastic night at the WS - the first Jeremy Beadle Lecture was a very special meeting.

                  This meeting was an event in aid of the charity Jeremy worked so hard for, 'Children with Leukaemia'. We are in the process of working out the full amount raised on the night and will publish this sum in the very near future.


                  Our thanks go to all those who helped make this event a great night!

                  Frogg.

                    You look fine and healthy, Philip. But it seems to me that Donald has dropped a couple of kilos since the last time I saw him. Robin, of course, has never had a weight problem; in fact, he should probably be sucking back a couple of pints of decent ale, instead of that white wine.

                      Roy, the lady in the photo is Liza Hopkinson and I can assure you that by virtue of the fact you have asked, she has accepted that as an indecent proposal which she will expect honoured within six months.

                      Two things I want to add from last night.

                      Firstly, the aim was to raise £500. I believe in the end (correct me if I'm wrong, Sue) we managed about £1300. That's pretty incredible.

                      The other thing I feel deserves a special mention is Adrian's 10-minute compilation of clips from Jeremy's broadcasts, tributes etc. I was deeply moved by it and actually had tears in my eyes. It wasn't just a hotch-potch, it was a considered, poetic work of art (though, I have to say, adding Brian Eno's 'AN ENDING' to anything always elevates it in my view).

                      PHILIP

                        Indeed Philip. I reckon you could play that music over the top of Monty Python's 'silly walks' sketch and even John Cleese's walk would suddenly become moving.

                          Here's a couple of mine from Saturday night.

                          Not sure if Mr Odell managed to get through all of those Smirnoff Ices...

                          Mr Morris obviously thought he could sneak past without being spotted (and ultimately collared) by Sergeant Rumbelow.

                              Liza did a great job selling raffle tickets - she raised well over £400 towards the total I believe. She was also asked on the night to take charge of the auction, which raised another £500+. In her own words she was "absolutely knackered" by the end of the evening. I thought I'd have to carry her down Brick Lane yesterday morning.

                              A night to remember - many thanks to everyone involved.

                              Love,
