Yes, it was great, I really got a good insight into the great woman. I especially liked Maxine Peake's idea of making a film, and she is in the process of raising funding for it. Somebody suggested crowdfunding and I for one would contribute to this.

Yes, I watched it too. Good to have Beryl’s daughter Denise and Maxine Peake involved. I found Isobel Best a bit annoying, as by her own admission, she talked a lot, but didn’t actually impart much information.

Sadly I didn’t and for stupid reasons really.
Main reasons being I have no idea what is meant by a 'Winter Watch Party' and further I don’t understand what a Webinair is or how they work. I realise it’s something many people are doing now especially those in the type of work where communication with others is on a regular basis and they will be familiar with what it all means and how it all works.
On receiving the invite I’m phased and I suppose I also imagine it will end up something like Handford Parish Council and Jackie Weaver.
Whatever I am, wherever I am, this is me. This is my life

A webinar is a seminar delivered over the internet aka the Web.

Usually it’s a listening and watching event, but there’s often a chance to interact via a Q and A session at the end. During the delivery of the seminar itself, everyone except the primary participants is muted so they can’t interrupt, unlike the Handforth Parish Council meeting.
