- Talk with wine 13th April
THE WORKINGS OF THE MAGISTRATES COURTS
SPEAKER; Beverley Higgs MBE JP has been a member of the Avon & Somerset Bench for twenty-one years. Sitting in Yeovil, Bath and Taunton she has experienced every type of case as a Presiding Justice.
As National Chair of the Magistrates Association and for eight years on the Board of Trustees she was instrumental in changing the law to increase the magistrates’ sentencing powers from 6 to 12 months and the retirement age of magistrates from 70 to 75. She is also an experienced practitioner of restorative justice and mediation.
“Being a magistrate has been a defining part of my life for a long time. I have had the most amazing opportunities and experiences because of it. In court I have heard everything from funny stories to hearing about the tragic consequences of crime. It sometimes feels like a Dickens novel with an amazing cast of characters including the lawyers, defendants, victims and witnesses. I really enjoy talking about the role to people in the community and especially working through the ‘you be the judge’ sentencing exercise because that is a real eye opener into the process. Most of all I like answering people’s questions, that for me is often the start of the best conversations.”

Thank you to the over 60 people who joined for Tom Boden’s splendid talk about the National Trust’s major project to transform the Assembly Rooms into a major attraction for the city of Bath. Tom, General Manager for the National Trust’s Bath portfolio of properties including Dyrham Park, Bath Assembly Rooms, Prior Park Landscape Garden, Bathampton Meadows and the Bath Skyline, explained that while the Roman story of Bath is well told, there are gaps in the current presentation of Bath’s Georgian story.
The ambitious project will restore the Assembly Rooms building, which was heavily damaged in WW2, and tell the enlightening stories of the people who lived, gambled and danced there. The new experience will use the most modern technology to show how people went about their business in Georgian Bath. For example, visitors will be able to listen to the exciting conversations, stories and gossip of some fascinating characters as they prepare for an upcoming ball. A broader goal of the project is to encourage visitors to extend their stay in Bath by giving them a deeper appreciation of this beautiful city.
The talk was sold out and organised by the trustees of the St Stephen’s Millennium Green Trust and held in the St Stephen’s Church undercroft on Monday 13th October. The funds raised will be used to pay for the upkeep of the much loved St Stephens Millennium Green. - Latest Photos From InstaGram
