# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Afternoon Tea and Tales – The Scandal of Frank Spooner
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Scandal of Frank Spooner tells the hundred-year-old story of the first Director of Education for Bedfordshire.

Mark Steinhardt was given access to the telegrams, memos and notes of phone calls that were kept as the scandal unfolded, so he has been able to reconstruct it almost moment by moment.

Frank Spooner was a complex man with a secret life. But funding a secret life can be expensive. Your salary might not be sufficient…

This a true story, thoroughly researched, but there are choices the audience has to make. And there will be time for a couple of traditional tales. Something lighter to finish the afternoon.

Price includes a cream tea and a hot drink choice. (tea or coffee) Please e-mail the office admin@recbedford.co.uk with any dietary requirements or allergies. Open to Non-Members

NB: This is a repeat of the event on 26th January, re-run by popular demand!
