Judith Hibbert: Round the Radio

We were honoured to have the Mayor and Mayoress of Wolverhampton as special guests at our October lunch.

Other guests included the husbands and partners of some of our members, who were brave enough to accept an invitation to our annual open event and see what we get up to each month! 

Our post lunch entertainment was provided by Judith Hibbert, who has worked extensively in both stage and screen. Judith is part of the Good Old Days Company and has two talented theatrical children, one of whom is Eleanor Tomlinson, perhaps better known as Demelza in the BBC series Poldark.

Using only a few simple props, such as hats and scarves, she showed her versatility imitating the voices and mannerisms of various theatrical ladies including Joyce Grenfell, Julie Andrews and Gracie Fields. She soon had us laughing and joining in, although she wasn't too impressed with our singing!

Her presentation was much admired and so was her skill at being able to change characters by just wearing different hats .She was thanked for her amusing performance, which evoked pleasant memories from the past.
