We had some really fabulous events in September. On the 4th and 5th we held our centenary show 100 Years of Magic at the Arts Centre. Much has already beeen reported about the Shows elsewhere, so I'll just say that we had two brilliant nights, as did our audiences. An exhibition of images from the last 100 years of the Society, curated by Nicolas Maulet MMC was on show at the Arts Center too. This ran until September 28th.

On the 12th we visited the Sandman Hotel for our Centenary Dinner. The venue, staff and food were all magnificent. President Garry Seagraves was our host of course but he was surprised (as were we all) when his dad Bill Seagraves announced that the Magic Circle had appointed Garry as a Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star. Congratulations to our President, of whom we are very proud. The entertainment for the evening was nothing short of sensational. Dave Goulding was M.C. for two of the finest magical acts in the world at the moment Norbert Ferre and Matteo Fraziano. What a night - befitting the occasion of our Centenary.

On the 8th we held our Annual General Meeting. The list of elected officers can be seen on the About page. The second meeting of the month was held on the 22nd when Garry introduced his dad for An Evening with Bill Seagraves. Without going into too much detail, Bill delivered a solid 75 and more minutes of great magic, anecdotes and reminiscences, with the assistance of the lovely Marlene. He showed us some great card work (mainly self-working) and a masterclass in egg bag handling. It was a brilliant night and the time flew past far too quickly.
