TIM STUBBS returns, bringing his new one-man-show “Reflections of Life
– Part 2” to Cotterstock Village Hall on Friday 27 September at 7.30 pm to
raise money for Diabetes UK.
Part 2 of Tim’s new show will tell more tales about his childhood, growing
up as the son of the baker in Thurlby and his observations on the many
characters in the village at that time. Tim will also be sharing stories
gathered over many, years from his time as an auctioneer, antique dealer
and latterly as publican of the Red Lion in Warmington - the stories are
endless.
Tickets are £10 (cash only) which includes a glass of wine or juice in the
interval and are readily available from Stu-Pots in the Market Place,

hilarious raconteur and every penny raised on the night will go to Diabetes
UK. More than five million people in the UK are living with diabetes;
