On Saturday, November 8, 2025, we have :
AGM: The club AGM starts at 12:30 (card-carrying members only)
Speaking at 2.45 pm, we have:
1st: Toral Dixit – Journeys Through the Lens: 30 Years of Global Discovery
With a 30-year career in filmmaking, documentary filmmaker Toral Dixit has journeyed to some of the most remote corners of the world—living among indigenous communities and excavating 2,000-year-old Mayan ruins deep in the jungles of Guatemala. She will share insights from these extraordinary experiences in her upcoming talk.
2nd: Richard Loosley – A Butterfield’s Overland to India in the 1970s by Public Transport.
Join lifelong traveller Richard Loosley, who will talk about his early experiences on the overland route to India that he took with his business partner, Ashley Butterfield.
Richard retraces his journey across ten countries to India—armed only with a backpack, a sense of humour, and public transport. In this vivid memoir of the 1970s, Loosley shares tales of border crossings, hashish-laced buses, and the raw charm of a bygone era of travel.
A celebration of spontaneity, grit, and the joy of getting gloriously lost.
