The Art of Deception
in WW2 by Hugh Granger
Those who attended Hugh’s first talk to Project Purley in February last year will recall the energy and professionalism of his account of how the English Language has evolved. This talk on the art of deception in World War Two, promises to be as dynamic and entertaining. Hugh will explore how we faked everything from maps, bomb damage, lorries, tanks, parachutists, harbours and airfields to entire invasions.

Seasonal performance by The Rain or Shine Theatre Company
The Rain or
Shine Theatre Company is a professional touring group whose productions are
always a sell-out in Purley. This year,
for the second running, they are proposing to complete a winter tour and have
provisionally agreed to perform at The Barn on December 10. David will let you know ticket prices and
when you can start buying them at a meeting nearer to their performance. Once again profits will go to Charity.

Christmas Party - members only
Once again Rick and Val are extending a warm welcome to members of Project Purley at the beautiful and historic Gatehouse for our Christmas party. Members are asked to pay £1 each to cover the cost of mulled wine and to bring a plate of finger-food for either the savoury or dessert table to share. The evening begins at 7.30. This is always a very relaxed and enjoyable evening and a wonderful start to the count down to Christmas.
