2. UK ZOOM approx 6:45 am April 1st. (No joke)
UK President Stephen Ware : You are cordially invited to join our next meeting on April 1st. Meeting 11:15 for 11:30. Club business approximately 11:30 to 11:45. Speaker at approximately 11:45. End of meeting approx. 13:00. It is believed that Canadian time will return to 5 hours behind UK time for this meeting.
Our speaker is John Hope, talking about ’Time through the Ages’. John had a 10 year career in the Royal Air Force seeing active service, during Suez, then in Sarawak. He then had a lengthy commercial career including senior positions with baked bean giant Heinz and Hertz car and truck rental. He avoided the tsunami in Sri Lanka in 2004 and a subsequent late career change saw him involved in work supporting people with mental health issues. He has several awards including national sporting awards and the Queens Award for volunteering services. He admits to being ‘No shrinking violet’ and has had interesting contact with many of the ‘great and the good’.
John’s talk will cover a journey through "time-telling" over the centuries, showing the development and improvement of time-telling devices from sundial and water clocks through the introduction of mechanical clocks, railway time, domination of pendulum devices to the atomic clock.
