We are really looking forward to welcoming Mari Griffith to Catbrook Memorial Hall in late spring 2019 when she will tell us more about her exciting career and achievements. The evening is yet to be finalised but is likely to be in two halves with an ‘interview style’ session followed by Q&A’s from the floor.

Mari enjoyed a long career in broadcasting before turning to writing full time.  She began her career as a singer then, almost by accident, became a presenter of radio and television programmes for both children and adults.

Eventually, wanting to make programmes rather than take part in them, she turned to directing and producing, both for the BBC and as an independent programme-maker.  More recently she has launched herself into yet another career, this time as a writer and has written two novels - Root of the Tudor Rose, which the Catbooks Book Club will be reviewing at their January meeting! -  and, more lately The Witch of Eye.

Apparently Mari was also instrumental as ‘matchmaker’ for our very own Catbrookians, Richard and Sue Cobourne, and I am sure we will find out more about this on the evening too!

Please watch this space for more details …….
