FHSC Seminars: ‘A strange thing happened on the way to the Police Station’. An A-Z of funny stories and anecdotes with Martin Gaffney
Something a bit different this month. As the title suggests this is an A-Z of funny stories seen from the Police service to the public. Martin says: ‘As they say, "nothing as strange as folk" and believe me you could not 'script' some of the activities.’
A time to laugh a time to cry, a time to live and a time to die. You experience every aspect of human life as a police officer and Martin has been sharing those experiences with audiences across the county and on cruise ships. Although the subjects appear serious, Martin says, every story contains humour/human nature and intriguing true life events. This should be an entertaining and light heart evening. So, register today and sit back for a relaxed evening.
This event is also open to non-members, with fee of £5. Registration opens on 1st September when the red ‘Register [Individual]’ button will show on the top left of this page, just click on that button, you will also receive an email confirmation. Non-members will be required to create a free FHSC account and complete the payment details. Registration will close on 14th September.
The zoom links/meeting protocol will be forwarded to all registrants the day before the talk.
