Welcome to The Thursday Club’s Conversation Conservation project
This project takes a pair of chairs,
with a stranger, a loved one, or a friend who cares.
From builders to nurses and even a Mayor,
talking points laid naked and bare,
to create a conversation that’s easy to share.
‘Behind These Eyes’

Filmed in Llandudno on a beautiful day from a room with a view. Listen to this clip of Roy and Susan discussing living in France and on the ‘verge’ of the countryside.
Listen to Carlo and Katrina talk about his love of Motorsports and Italian heritage.
Listen in to Dawn and Angela about the origins of the club and why it is so important
Brian, Margaret and Maggie talking about their life at work.
Our day out in Llandudno - thank you to The Bay Hotel & Malbank Coaches
Postcards From The Past
Just like a traditional postcard, our audio postcards from the past offer a glimpse into part of a conversation to someone’s personal past memory. Click on the links below to hear more from our contributors. Get ready to smile just like when you receive a traditional postcard through the post from a friend or loved one.
Memory Card Show Reels
Welcome to this part of the conversation conservation project called the memory card show reel. This is where you will find simple powerful show reel style videos of the memories that people have shared with me from their very own, very personal photo albums.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the process of listening to people’s stories as they carefully slid out precious, snapshots of their history. Let me share with you some of the stories in photographic form by looking at some of the show reels accompanied by a short narration and some appropriate music. I really do hope you enjoy this part of our conversation conservation project.
Hear what our participants have to say about The Thursday Club and Conversation Conservation (plus all the best actors have got to have some bloopers!!)
