The lecture was again well attended with regulars turning up for this bi monthly major event and they were treated to yet more travel exploits to distant lands via the following very different talks:-

· Latin America by bike: speaker Clive Parker detailed his cycle tour of Central and part of Latin America. This incredible journey is the subject of his book “Pedalling Panama” and through mountains, heat and chill, Clive cycled over 7000 kilometres which he illustrated with a superb talk. See Clives web site for more details http://www.cliveparker.co.uk/.

· A journey through Bhutan: speaker Mike Jones, an inveterate traveller, took us to the unique country of Bhutan. Just to tour there one has to be provided with a local guide as it is quite a reclusive society but one in that the people are both welcoming and so friendly, and a country that abounds with majestic scenery and monasteries often perched high on the sides of mountains.

The next meeting is on the Saturday 22th May at the Grovsenor Museum at the usual time of 1.0pm meeting for a 1.30pm start. There will be two lectures, the first on the Ukraine given by Barbara Dickinson, followed by refreshments then a talk by Dan Bachmann on the forgotten tribes of Karamojong people in Uganda.

Tickets £2 including refreshments
