This month we have:

1. AGM : The clubs AGM starts at 1:00pm (card carrying members only), then at 2.30 the meeting begins

Speaking this month we have:

2. Ashley Butterfield – Tales of a bogieman: Round India on a railway carriage (100 times) The pleasures and perils of taking assorted foreign tourists round India by rail, before the advent of the internet /mobile phone / Tripadvisor etc.
3. Andrew Lyndon-Skeggs – 1,300 km walk from Auch to Dieppe.

   Businessman, photographer, resident of a 38.5 meter barge in Paris, gardener, lecturer on the Jazz Age in France, alumni of Magdalene College Cambridge, one time conjuror and Master of the Cambridge University Drag Hunt, plus early internet entrepreneur, Andrew Lyndon-Skeggs has now also walked across France.

   The idea for the walk came out of the blue and, having never done a long walk before, Andrew Lyndon-Skeggs decided to walk right across France. Two criteria only; boundary to boundary, and avoid the Chemin de St Jacques de Compostello. Oh, and, South to North. Why not? At least it avoids looking into the sun all day. The talk will include personal reminiscences, photographs and (if you want to take it) practical advice. Much looking forward to meeting you all.
