Tim Stubbs is back with ‘Reflections of Life Part 2’
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,
Oundle. Tickets are limited due to the size of the hall; Tim’s talk sold out
within weeks last time!
There will be a quality (cash only) raffle prize draw on the night with all
the prizes kindly donated by local businesses.
A night filled with nostalgia, fun and laughter is promised with this
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;
diabetes can affect every part of life and every part of your body. With
the right treatment, knowledge and support, people living with diabetes
can lead long, full and healthy lives, left untreated it raises the risk for
damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart. Everything we know
about diabetes – every drug, device and development has only been
possible because of research. Diabetes UK is the leading charitable
funder of research
