Author Talk: Ian Braybrook

Ian Braybrook, author of a number of books including 'Gwenyth Wisewould, Outpost Doctor' about Trentham's extraordinary Dr Gwen Wisewould, and 'BushWireless' his newest book, will present our author talk at the Trentham Library, directly following the Clever Towns Challenge. He will talk about his latest book, 'Bush Wireless', released in December 2015. In it, he writes about his many years with community radio, beginning in 1959 when he was one of the pioneers of radio FM 3CCC.

​

Ian began as the nervous reader of local newspaper items for the print handicapped, 'Newspaper of the Air'. He went on to present countless radio programs and became a popular broadcaster across the region. He met and came to know hundreds of people from all walks of life, and has a deep treasure chest of stories. 'Bush Wireless' is his story and he'll be sharing it with us.

Trentham Photography Club Photo Exhibition.

​

Trentham Photography Club is hosting a photography exhibition in conjunction with Words in Winter Trentham.  Photographers are invited to exhibit photographs depicting your interpretation of this year’s Words in Winter theme ‘Silence’.

 

What does ‘silence’ mean to you?  Is it the quiet before the storm, a home without children, the suppression of ideas or the stillness of a landscape?  Use your imagination and your photographic skills to tell a story using photography as your medium.
