THIS month's Manor House coffee morning talk will be given by Roger Davy.

In "I haven't gone far" Mr Davy talks about life as a lad growing up in the 1940s and his later life which saw him awarded the MBE and becoming deeply involved with the Ilkley Playhouse.

Mr Davy has previously given a fascinating talk in the Ilkley Literature Festival about his life in the wool trade.

The Manor House monthly coffee morning will take place at 10.15am for 10.30am on Friday, September 24.

Mr Davy was installed as president of Ilkley Playhouse in 2011, a position he held for a number of years.
