We are delighted to welcome Mary Smith for her captivating illustrated talk, A Schoolgirl’s War. Mary, former headteacher of Maidstone Grammar School for Girls, brings to life the remarkable true stories of schoolgirls during the Second World War, drawing on original wartime diaries, artwork and first-hand memories. Her presentation offers a moving and fascinating glimpse into how pupils coped with lessons in air-raid shelters, daily uncertainty, and the resilience and spirit that defined their schooldays. This promises to be a truly engaging and memorable talk — not to be missed.
