FHSC Seminars: ‘A strange thing happened on the way to the Police Station’. An A-Z of funny stories and anecdotes with Martin Gaffney

Wed 16-09-2026 7:30 pm -9:30 pm
£5.00
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.

If you run into any difficulties with this, then please contact us on the dedicated seminar email address – The Seminar series is co-ordinated by Margaret Spate, Jean Laidlaw and Margaret Roberts and ALL correspondence, queries etc should be sent to the dedicated email address.
