Friends of St Michael and All Angels Church Brighton - quarterly newsletter Feb 2025
"It was cold outside but that didn’t deter 60 Friends from turning up to enjoy an amusing and informative talk by Brian Ogilvie from Brighton’s Fishing Museum.
He even included a mini sing-song and a jokey quiz where one lucky Friend won a jar of his wife’s legendary whiskey marmalade!"

"Thank you very much for a delightful and interesting talk to our group last Thursday afternoon.
A number of members have said to me how much they enjoyed it.
Would you be happy to return to us for another talk?"

I am a chartered certified accountant,now semi-retired,with a life-long interest in (among others)local history,art and architecture.I live in Brighton,and lead tours of my local church during the annual Fringe Festival https://www.brightonfringe.org/events/tour-of-st-nicholas-church/
I am also treasurer and archivist for the local Fishing Museum,and among my talks I tell the story of the 'Vanished Voices' of Brighton's former beach fishing community. https://www.fishingquarter.co.uk/
I enjoy presenting to varied audiences several times a year locally or in London, for between 45-60 minutes (in person only ).I encourage audience engagement,and like to 'keep it light' !
I do not charge a fee,just travel costs - plus a donation to a local charity of my choice
