Saturday the 14th November saw the first meeting of the Chester Globetrotters Club now held bi-monthly at the Grosvenor Museum on Saturday afternoons. After introducing the benefits of the society, Kevin Brackley, from Globetrotters London branch [and the club’s organising committee], related his exploits in Laos and his travel by local transport to visit some of the fascinating sights of the country.
Later this was followed by Kevin Jones, who travelled overland to the Middle East as part of a two man photographic team. His journey, which covered 25,000 kms throughout the Arab peninsula and took six months to complete, was the subject of the slide show as well as the book he has written entitled “Inshallah, Odyssey to the Middle East”.
