u3a Penrith Monthly Meetings:-

APRIL MEETING - CHILDREN’S LITERATURE

2.15 pm Thursday 16th April at Penrith Rugby Club

David Milner

David Milner was a local Methodist minister who became the District Superintendent. Still living in Penrith, he is now retired and able to pursue his personal interests and enthusiasms. These include a strong interest in children’s literature so he has elected to give a talk on books for young people. This promises to be an interesting talk with helpful advice on what we might like to recommend to those youngsters we know.
