A Forever Flavel Meeting – a Free Event for Flavel Friends, Volunteers, Members and Staff

Join Flavel Chair, Ian Downing, and Flavel Trustees to hear about the latest plans for the Flavel.  This is your chance to understand the seriousness of the issues that the Flavel faces and the purpose of the some of the proposed solutions. Hear from Eleanor Moss, Libraries Unlimited Service Delivery Manager for South and West Devon and Torbay and her view of the Library’s partnership with the Flavel.  Be challenged by local Music and Culture Entrepreneur, Sarah Dempsey on her vision for the Flavel to be the “glue” that binds the Dartmouth Community together. It’s a working meeting where you will meet fellow Flavel users and discuss your views and ideas on the way forward.  After the event, enjoy a free drink on the house and take the opportunity to talk to the speakers yourself, or reflect on how you might join the campaign to make Flavel Forever!

This is a free event.  We will use the ticketing system to plan seating and tables layout.

Based on a remarkable true story, discover how the poor son of a miner became one of the greatest actors the world has ever known, with the help of an unlikely mentor.

In the Welsh town of Port Talbot, 1942, Richard Jenkins (Harry Lawtey) lives as a wayward schoolboy, caught between the pressures of his struggling family, a devastating war, and his own ambitions. However, a new opportunity arises when Richard’s natural talent for drama catches the attention of his teacher, Philip Burton (BAFTA winner Toby Jones).

Taking Richard under his wing, the young man thrives thanks to Philip’s strict tutelage and the guidance of kindly landlady, Ma Smith (Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville). However, as the acting world comes within Richard’s reach, the burden of his past risks holding him back forever.
