• Neil Rees – In the Footsteps of King Zog of Albania
  

  Neil Rees researched King Zog of Albania and his exile in Buckinghamshire, England during the war. He has retraced his footsteps from his birth in rural Albania in 1895 to his death in Paris in 1961. He wrote a local history book called “A Royal Exile” about the story which has been translated into Albanian, and he is reliably informed that it is probably the first Buckinghamshire local history book ever to be translated into Albanian. It was launched at the national museum in Tirana in November 2011.

• Nadine Horn – Grateful for a spoon and getting trousers sewed by an Icelandic – Mission Spain
  

  What if you know that you like to travel, but simply don’t know where to start? Every day is the same and you feel that time is simply passing by? The talk is about the journey of creating unplanned adventures around you such as walking the Grand Union Canal from Birmingham to Northampton, walking from the heart of Edinburgh until encountering hills – discovering the motivation for the travel bug and ending up organising the first expedition in 30 days: Cycling around Spain solo – exploring a country you think you know but as a famous saying points out – it’s the journey that makes the difference. And then the stories follow…from being grateful for a spoon and getting your trousers sewed by an Icelandic.

• Neil Harris – “Ethiopia: A country of two halves; history in the north, tribal Africa in the south.”

  Neil Harris is a keen photographer and since retirement an avid traveller. He will talk about and show photographs of Ethiopia. A country of two halves. The north contains many historic monuments, it was one of the first countries to embrace Christianity, while in the south tribal peoples live a lifestyle largely unchanged since before the arrival of Europeans. The building of a large dam across the Omo River threatens this way of life, this, along with ongoing extensive improvement to the road system throughout the country means Ethiopia is about to change forever.

• Sarah Murray – From the Magnificent to the Macabre: Send-Offs for the Dead.

  Sarah Murray, author of Making an Exit, traveled the world in search of
  the best send offs. She will describe her encounters with everything
  from a spectacular Balinese royal cremation and a chandelier in the
  Czech Republic made entirely from human bones to the American death
  care industry’s biggest road show and a ghoulish Sicilian crypt where
  mummified corpses line the walls.Join Sarah for an engaging and
  highly personal discussion in which she talk about some of the
  extraordinary rites and monuments she found on her travels (she might
  even tell you about the plans for her own eventual send off).
