Lois Pryce : Adventure motorcyclist Lois returned to the club to recount her latest exciting journey…”Red Tape & White Knuckles”. In a detail filled talk, Lois held us riveted with tales of bureaucratic border nightmares, roads that were little better than rivers, minefields and near culture shock at every corner ! She also filled us the vibrancy of the people, the colours of life and the geographical magic of a very misunderstood & beguiling destination. I think Lois could have spoke twice as long and yet still had many questions to answer… If you still want to know more, see Lois’s web site at http://www.loisontheloose.com/

Doreen Tayler : As in May’s edition of the eNewsletter, Doreen recounted her travel award winning adventure “In the footsteps of Rudyard Kiplin’s Kim”. Never an immediate fan of India, Doreen however found herself inspired by Kipling’s Kim, and in particular trying to retrace his many journeys across the country in pursuit of the Great Game. For a first time speaker Doreen was knowledgeable, articulate and seemingly not daunted in standing in front of the regular London branch audience. Well done and here’s hoping she’ll inspire other applicants for future awards…
