This, is only the second of our
What’s On Brochures and in
producing this publication we
hope to get it to those who
would not normally visit a
Spiritualist Church. So I want
to take this opportunity to
explain to our new readers a
little of what we do here.
We are a Spiritual Centre, and
as well as providing a beautiful
Sanctuary for our Spiritualist
Church, we aim to provide
facilities for the physical,
mental, emotional and
spiritual well-being of Society,
as a whole.
We want to be a resource for
the whole community—and we
welcome people of all
religions, and none, to come
and enjoy our magnificent
building, and perhaps partake
of some of the activities we
have on offer. As such, we
have activities in the building
that are conducive to our aims
of looking after the mind, body
and spirit— this brochure
brings you information on just
some of them.
New for this Quarter, we have
Creative Writing; Art Classes;
an exciting new concert by the
popular musician Alastair
Savage from the BBC
Symphony Orchestra; and we
have just been accepted as a
Venue for the Festival Fringe!
If you haven’t yet visited us,
check out our Tuesday Talks,
we have a number of excellent

Intensive Practical Mediumship with Paul Jacob 6 & & July
Paul Jacobs was tutored by Gordon Higginson who was not just President of his local church but also
President of the Spiritualists' National Union, Principle of the Arthur Findlay College and one of the finest
all round mediums of the 20th century. Gordon became a personal friend and mentor teaching Paul to not
only recognise but also to unfold his latent mediumistic gifts. Paul's first public demonstration came in
1990 after 7 years of intensive development under the guidance of Gordon and Martin Young.
Paul has an enviable reputation as an international teaching medium. His work has taken him to Finland,
Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Holland, Germany and the USA. Paul's main interest today is the training of
tomorrows mediums. To this end he has set up his own school for mediums, this is based in Amsterdam,
Holland, but he is here, at The Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre for a weekend course.
This course will be practical and informative and will help you to put enthusiasm and confidence back into
your mediumship.
