We are delighted to welcome

Jack Blackburn to talk about

THE CONFESSIONS OF TRAITORS – What the new MI5 files tell us about Philby, Blunt and British Film Stars”

On Wednesday 12th February at 7.30pm

14th January 2025: Over 100 Security Service (MI5) files are being released today covering a wide range of subjects and individuals. Most notably, the files offer fresh perspectives on notorious members of the Cambridge Five spy ring, namely Anthony Blunt, Kim Philby and John Cairncross.

 The content of these files is fascinating – they include transcripts of interrogations, and of bugged telephone calls, surveillance reports, memos, reports, and correspondence – items that were considered ‘Secret’ or ‘Top Secret’ for so many years. This release, therefore, brings us rich layers of extra detail that can be added to the ‘known’ story.  Jack Blackburn has had access to these files and will be telling us what this new information reveals.

 Jack Blackburn is the history correspondent for The Times. He is also their Deputy Diary Editor. He has covered numerous major stories for the paper including the death of Elizabeth II, the coronation of Charles III and the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. He has also broken stories about excavations at Pompeii, the discovery of Shackleton’s ship Endurance and fresh evidence on the Princes in the Tower. He is also a regular contributor to Times Radio.

Members £15.00, Guests £20.00 to include a glass of wine.

A Club Supper will be served afterwards for £22.50/head

We are delighted to welcome

Elizabeth Briggs to talk about

The Putney Debates”

1647. The English Civil War was seemingly over. Parliament and The New Model Army had defeated the monarchy. Charles I was imprisoned, and a new republic was born. The whole country looked to London and held its breath. What would happen next?

The Levellers – a religious and political sect, and the most influential group in The New Model Army – came forward. They compared the system to ‘a mess of potage’ and produced a series of revolutionary demands: to end rule by King, Bishops and the House of Lords; protect religious differences and extend the vote to free men. One third of all Londoners signed the Levellers’ petition. Cromwell had no choice but to meet with, rather than suppress, them.

The resulting discussion was the Putney Debates, the earliest example in English history of debate for genuine democratic reform. For twelve days, Levellers met with Cromwell and emerging parliamentary leaders in St. Mary’s Church, Putney. Join writer Elizabeth Briggs in conversation at Winchester House Club, where, according to legend, Oliver Cromwell stayed during the Putney Debates to discover this extraordinary chapter in British history and the impact it still has today.

Members £15.00, Guests £20.00 to include a glass of wine.

A Club Supper will be served afterwards for £22.50/head
