Hello all,
Spring us finally here for those of us in the northern hemisphere and it is more than welcome ! In the UK over the last few weeks I’m sure many of us have enjoyed the odd BBQ, walked through the blooming greenery and started to think of being more active…as there seems to be so much more energy around J Well in this edition we three very active members of Globetrotters to highlight through various activities, plus two articles from authors who I don’t think have contributed before. There are also the established regulars such as Mac giving his views on another subject, a request for help, a number of web sites’ links and an update on the club’s annual travel award.
Following on from member Charlie Egan’s book launch and my request for reviewers – I’m pleased to say I’ve had three replies and The Killing Snows has already been sent out. Hopefully I’ll be able to let you know the reader’s views over the next few months. In the meantime Charlie has been busy promoting via being involved in the first ever National Famine Memorial Day on 17 May at The London Irish Centre in Camden. This has included working with John Dunne at London Irish Theatre on programming some interesting famine-related work around his play at The Old Red Lion Theatre, 418 St. John Street, London EC1V 4NJ. www.oldredliontheatre.co.uk
Member Karen Neale has been exhibiting pictures from her latest book, London in Landscape Vol II , at the Barbican Library, 2nd Floor, Barbican Centre, Silk Street, London, EC2Y 8DS and various visitors have sung her praises yet again in capturing the essence of what London life can be about. See Karen’s web site for further details http://www.karenneale.co.uk
And hot of the press we have a letter from Jennifer Barclay, currently experiencing a Greek island lifestyle on Tilos in the Dodecanese. For those that haven’t heard of her, Jennifer spoke to the London branch about how she ended up in Korea and what she came to enjoy about that very different society.

That’s all for now…enjoy being busy yourselves and writing in with your travels J
