We are looking forward to our next Little Bowden Society meeting on Wed 21st Oct, when we welcome John Aldridge, Chair and CEO of the Leicester Mercury Media Group from 1982 to 97.
John’s presentation is titled: “A funny thing happened on my way to retirement.”
John will share some of the background to the various departments that contribute to a daily newspaper,
Both informative and light-hearted; he will pick out some of the more humorous incidents that occurred in his 43 career in the regional press.

Our main aim is tracing, recording and disseminating information on all aspects of Little Bowden .
Members have differing levels of involvement - some carry out research into topics with the intention of publishing their results while others are content to enjoy the monthly speakers and activities.

 These pages give an insight into the functions of the Society and we would be delighted to hear from anyone with an interest in Little Bowden’s history.
