This looks really interesting ! Wish that I could attend (I'll be in France, sadly).

I love the first side of the flier...I love the ordinary man, rather than the top hatted and caped toff, but with his face hidden...the titles are very succinct.

Is anyone intending to go ?

It is a very historic building that is full of period atmosphere.

Tickets are selling at £10 in advance or £15 on the door.
It will start at 7 pm
There will be a bar and refreshments available.
All proceeds will go to the Stairway to Heaven Memorial Trust (apart from the bar proceeeds which go towards the Church restoration fund!)

There will be indepth talks about links between those involved in the Bethnal Green Tube Disaster and their family connections to different well known characters in the Jack the Ripper mystery... suspects no less.

This is a very worthwhile event and it wll be of great interest to everyone intersted in the East End and the Jack the Ripper mystery.
