Brass: Birmingham is an economic strategy game telling the story of competing entrepreneurs in Birmingham during the industrial revolution, between the years of 1770-1870. Players will develop, build, and establish their industries and network, in an effort to exploit low or high market demands. The game is played over two halves: the canal era (years 1770-1830) and the rail era (years 1830-1870). Our Heavy Thursday evenings are the perfect way to explore the heavier games in our library! The game will be set up for your arrival at 7pm, a member of our team will explain all the rules to you so no need to know anything about the game in advance and they will stay with you throughout your play through to answer any questions you may have about the game whilst you enjoy the game. Come on down and give it a go! Information Source: Dice Box Worcester | eventbrite

Ladies of Magna Carta Join author Sharon Bennett Connolloy as she explores the women involved with the issuing of the Magna Carta. Magna Carta clause 39: No man shall be taken, imprisoned, outlawed, banished or in any way destroyed, nor will we proceed against or prosecute him, except by the lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land. This clause in Magna Carta was in response to the appalling imprisonment and starvation of Matilda de Braose, the wife of one of King John’s barons. Matilda was not the only woman who influenced, or was influenced by, the 1215 Charter of Liberties, now known as Magna Carta. Women from many of the great families of England were affected by the far-reaching legacy of Magna Carta, from their experiences in the civil war and as hostages, to calling on its use to protect their property and rights as widows. Among them, Matilda de Braose, Nicholaa de la Haye and Isabel d’Aubigny each played a part in the Magna Carta story. Sharon Bennett Connolly is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and best-selling author of 7 historical non-fiction books. Her latest book, Scotland’s Medieval Queens, is book number 8. As well as writing the popular history blog, www.historytheinterestingbits.com Sharon co-hosts the podcast A Slice of Medieval , alongside historical novelist Derek Birks. Sharon regularly gives talks on women's history, for historical groups, festivals and in schools; her book Silk and the Sword: The Women of the Norman Conquest is a recommended text for teaching the Norman Conquest in the National Curriculum. Sharon is a feature writer for All About History, Tudor Places and Living Medieval magazines and her TV work includes Australian Television's 'Who Do You Think You Are?
