David, author of more tha 50 books and a former editor of The Dalesman will be taking as his theme his newly published memoir Mostly Joy, which looks back at times good and bad for his farming family, long based at Hebden.  The book forms a sequel to Men of Lead.

David will share material that did not find its way into the published book enhanced by his deep and wide-ranging understanding of the social history of this area.  This will be a fully illustrated talk
