About this deal

Just one publication is left for the society to produce: a shorter history of Churchtown, after which the society will cease to exist! Kirjan kuvitus on oikein kiva, tarina ihan ok, fontti mukavan suurta ja hauskuutta löytyy niin takapuolihuumorin kuin herra Ponnekkaan tehtailemien vitsien muodossa. Ainakaan tähän keski-ikäiseen opus ei silti tehnyt kovin suurta vaikutusta eikä edes naurattanut, höh. Täytynee luetuttaa tämä vielä kymmenvuotiaallani, niin selviää, mitä mieltä kohderyhmän edustaja Ponnekkaista on. The volume I speak of is entitled Southport’s Landowning Families – four local manorial families by four well-known and highly-respected historians, Sylvia Harrop, Pat Perrins, Roger Hull and, the late, great, Dr. Harry Foster. All published COI records from BOLD and GenBank with a minimum sequence length of 500bp. This library is a collection of records from the published projects section of BOLD. I did love that little girl who was friends with the kids. I was worried about how the story would go when certain things came to light, but she really surprised me. I hope she will get a bigger role in the next one.

A native of Southport and secretary of the BAHRS since its foundation, educated at Saxenholme School, Birkdale – who is writing the final publication, about Churchtown. Written by Julian Clary, The Bolds is a hilarious story of acceptance, and how we should not judge people by appearances. His sharp script is perky, quirky and surprising, provides plenty of opportunity for fun and participation, which has the audience howling with laughter. The terrific ensemble cast give a highly polished performance, excelling at dancing, close harmony singing and toilet humour in equal measure. Hyenas love to laugh, and the audience can’t help but join in when David Ahmad, as the irrepressible Mr Bold, churns out masses of cheesy dad jokes to get us chortling. Amanda Gordon is fabulous as Mrs Bold – and what a voice! Meanwhile, Mae Munuo and Sam Swann as the twins bring tremendous dynamism, energy and humour to the stage. It is their friend Minnie, played sensitively by Charity Beddu-Addo, who adds an understated poignancy to the story, reminding us that the most ordinary-looking people don’t necessarily have a straightforward life when you stop to look. A long time in the making, this is in fact the 11th volume published by the Birkdale & Ainsdale Historical Research Society (BAHRS), with three others written by society members, published elsewhere.The ensemble cast is bright and brimming with life. Mr Bold’s constant puns and dad jokes make sure that a laugh is never far away. Georgina Goodchild’s performance as Minnie, the Bold children’s best friend, is sweet and slightly heart-breaking. The disgruntled neighbour, Mr McNumpty, played by Sam Pay, serves well as a menacing antagonist, threatening to out the Bolds for the hyenas that they are. Jon Trenchard’s later appearance as Uncle Tony is an absolute joy, exuding warmth with his characterisation of an elderly hyena.

But disguised within its colourful onstage mayhem, The Bolds is a strong moral tale about what it means to be an alien presence in a foreign land and the sacrifices necessary to blend in with the natives. We know the holiday season is upon us when fairy tales and children’s storybooks run amok as stage adaptations to compete with the manufactured jolly of Yuletide cheer.

Southport born and bred, Harry attended local schools and taught in the town before moving to Edge Hill College (as it then was). Full Length Record Barcode Database ( 3,380,866 Sequences/ 217,503 Species/ 98,951 Interim Species) Though he was also the most wild out of the Bolds. He did all sorts of things that could endanger their stay there. The parents were fun, and I especially liked the dad. He really cared about his wife and kids, he tried to cheer them up during times that weren't easy (though of course, them being these kind of critters, they always were always laughing).

The Bolds are just like you and me. They live in an ordinary house on an ordinary street, and they love to laugh. But there's one slight difference. They are actually hyenas! The latest volume – the society’s last major project – is the 14th written by the society’s members.

The dialogue is fun and irreverent, and Julian pokes lots of fun at the ridiculousness of modern life as The Bolds adjust to Teddington society. There’s toilet humour aplenty, and generous dollops of one liners. Yet throughout this silliness we develop a fondness and sympathy for these furry imposters. We are most indignant at the way their frosty neighbour Mr McNumpty treats them. And you just know that the trip to the local safari park will be memorably eventful! Last week, Nostalgia featured the new local history book Southport’s Landowning Families, and now we take another sneak preview of a few more illustrations from the fascinating, well-researched publication.
