Tuesday March 31st 6pm – Spitfire Women - A Talk by Taniya Keoghan

Well folks, it's that time already; our very last hurrah before departing the Close and drawing down the curtain on 16 years of The Hours and all her green and orange wordy glory...🧡

'Spitfire Women' is a fascinating talk about the female innovators of WW2 and so we hope you will join us at The Hours this coming Tuesday. We promise not to cry.

The Air Transport Auxilary (ATA) was formed in 1939 as a civilian arm of the RAF to support WW2 efforts overseas; by 1940 women made up more than10 per cent of the strength of the ATA. Having first been confined to minor flying roles, women were soon flying everything from Spitfires to Lancasters and undertaking the same tasks as men with two 'ferry pools' eventually being staffed entirely by women pilots.

Taniya Keoghan was an Army officer for seven years before embarking on a colourful career that varied from radio resenter to parachute rigger. The Forces and their many facets have been a huge part of Taniya's life and she is particularly interested in the role women have played throughout military history.

'Spitfire Women' is Taniya's remarkable story of her enduring connection with this group of incredible, fearless, inspiring women.

Brecon Women's Festival is almost over.

We've been collaborating with the irrepressible creative force that is 's Emma Bevan for over a decade. This Saturday, she will be holding her last workshop with us up on the hill in the hush of the bookshop in the tranquility of the Close.

Creativity, community, connection and collaboration lie at the very heart of Emma's practice both as a maker herself and as a tutor and host to others and hers is a particularly woman-centred approach exploring women's experiences since the dawn of time.

She is a one-of-a-kind and we are proud to know her.

So join us this Saturday for a brilliant and beautiful workshop as part of the Welsh Women's Collaborative Quilt Project - you really don't want to miss it.

Sign up with or and join us for our last but one hurrah 💗♀️🧵🌷
