Jackie joined us for a superb evening with Nicola Benedetti and the Worthing Symphony Orchestra on October 11th. We last saw her perform in Chichester Cathedral. The WSO is an excellent orchestra and we will join them again for some of their monthly Sunday afternoon concerts. The conductor, John Gibbons, advised that the Assembly Hall has some of the best acoustics in the country.
Last week I joined the club at a local site for some field walking, but was unable to carry my detector due to the sciatica. I was fortunate to meet Ron Kerridge, an authority on flint tools. He showed me a couple of worked flints he had found that morning and within a few minutes had found my first, which he confirmed was a scraper. Two hammered coins were found. During the past week I have improved sufficiently to try usingmy detector, and I managed two hours. The weather was cool at the start and then turned sunny. A Henry hammered coin was found before I left.
Last night Jackie joined us to see the great Georgie Fame at Uckfield Civic Centre. We last saw him about ten years ago at an ICC concert in Saudi when his son James played trumpet. Last night he was accompanied by sons James on drums and Tristan on electric guitar, both excellent.
