A talk in Lee

With an even larger number of entrants to the 2009 Mervyn Peake Awards, up 23% on the 2008 tally, I am also very pleased to announce that the combined Lee, Lewisham and Bromley branches of the Parkinson's Disease Society have invited me to speak on 28th May at the Lee branch. The talk will begin at 7.00.

The reason for my original suggestion of the awards in 2001 to the then chief executive of the Parkinson's Disease Society, was because my father would continue to produce work even to the end of his life, and I felt that others suffering from the same appalling condition might view his example as one to follow.
