On Saturday June 3rd this year we had a wonderful evening at County Buildings in Stafford. Leslie Smith from Tutbury Castle treated us to an evening of history. For the past 22 years she has been lecturing on the lives of the Elizabethans. Dressing in the attire of the period she spoke and acted as Mary Queen of Scots, telling us of her life and what had happened to her.
Here you can see Leslie as herself and as Mary Queen of Scots.

On Saturday November 18th we shall be holding our Annual Dinner once again. This year it will be in the familiar surroundings of Brocton Golf Club. Our after dinner speaker this time will be Thea Randall from County Archives. We hope she will be able to tell us about the progress made with the Sutherland papers now that they have been safely kept in Staffordshire. The Archive service were finally able to buy the papers in March this year. The Staffordshire Society made a donation to the trust after hearing that a massive £2 million was needed to save the collection.
On 31st March we shall hold our A.G.M. at Colwich Church, Little Haywood, followed by lunch in the village hall.
On June 9th next year we see a welcome return to Stafford with Leslie Smith from Tutbury Castle. This time she will be in the guise of "Nell Gwynn", it promises to be a hilarious night, tickets will go fast I am sure!
On September 29th and October 6th we have arranged two fascinating evenings. These will be held at Tutbury Castle itself. We shall be served a two course meal followed by a 45 minute talk by Leslie Smith down in the depths of the castle. She will be retelling the last minutes of Anne Boleyn's life as the lady herself. There are only 36 tickets available for each evening so reservations will be taken early.
