May 2024 Meeting
Our next meeting is on Wednesday, 15 May 2024 in Holy Cross Church Hall, Butts Rd, SN4 0NN at 7.30pm when the subject is ‘The Hugely Huggable History of the Teddy Bear’ presented by
Dr Gillian White. Dr White’s talk will delve into the enduring legacy of the teddy bear.
While many toys have come and gone, the teddy bear has captured the hearts of children
and adults for over a century. Developed by toymakers in the United States and Germany in the early 20th century, the teddy bear has remained a beloved companion and symbol of love and affection. We will explore the rich history of the teddy bear, highlighting its connection to notable figures such as President Teddy Roosevelt, King Edward VII, and Gyles Brandreth,
the renowned author and entertainer.
