In June 2024, Anthony and Julia set off on a long round road trip to Eastern Europe. They explored their Polish roots, visited World Heritage sites in Romania, discovered what King Charles likes about the Carpathians and trailed the Black Sea coast to the Aegean. They met families who remember the Cold War and those whose livelihoods are threatened by climate change.

1st: Speaker to be confirmed
2nd: Olivia McGregor – Guiana
Olivia McGregor was the recipient of the Royal Geographical Society’s 2024 Neville Shulman Challenge Award and will be talking about her journey to the savannahs and rainforests of Guyana.
Olivia travelled to The Lost World, one of the last wildernesses on Earth, a land steeped in exotic myth and legend that served as inspiration for Jurassic Park. Among its inhabitants were the Makushi people, indigenous to the region, with a rich culture dating back 11,000 years.
The Makushi people are at a crossroads, caught between traditional ways of living in close connection with their natural environment and the influences of the modern industrialised world. Olivia will talk about how they are adjusting and the implications of this for everyone. Their survival could be humanity’s own.
Doors open at 14:15 in London and on Zoom with the talks starting around 14:45 (London see Event Time Announcer for local times), please arrive early so we can deal with any issues with joining.

OLD YORK TOWER, 85 THE ESPLANADE, (SE corner of Church St.)
Tentative topics and speakers are not yet scheduled.
Join us at OLD YORK TOWER, 85 THE ESPLANADE, in downtown Toronto.
This presentation is partially from our Toronto ‘backyard’, or should I say Ward’s Island (?) featuring no other than our ‘film star’ Bruce Weber, and partially from around the world. It will be an interesting start and inspiration for summer and fall travels.
At the meeting we will also inform you about the date of our annual picnic (most likely at Bruce’s place at Ward’s Island).
