Clacton Arts & Literary Society

The members of the Arts and Literary Society were delighted to receive the best wishes of HRH the Prince of Wales when Ian Skelly came to the Society to tell us about the work of the Prince and the philosophy behind it.

Ian Skelly, a broadcaster and writer, who has worked with the Prince for many years, gave a very erudite talk with many illustrations.  When considering any project, be it to do with farming, nature, architecture etc he emphasised the need to acknowledge the wisdom of the past and to complete everything in such a way that ensures a sustainable future.   This was a thought provoking and interesting glimpse into the way the Prince of Wales sees  his role.

The evening was sponsored by an anonymous donor in recognition of all the work done by volunteers and charity trustees in the community
