Villefranche-sur-Mer

The Globetrotters Club

The travel club for independent travellers.

Welcome to eNewsletter April 2009

Hello all,

Well IÂ’m back from South America after a number of adventures that seemed to be crammed into three very small weeks ! Hopefully at a later date I will get to you more about the experiences we enjoyed and the friendliness that seemed ever present in both Argentina & Chile. In the meantime I have memories of fantastic mountains, wide open horizons, friendly people and great food to savour as I attempt to return to London life.

Whilst IÂ’ve been away the club, its members and the eNewsletterÂ’s many readers have been very busy:-

· we’ve had two monthly meetings at the London branch where four very strong & very different speakers entertained busy crowds

· Dan Bachmann has set up a Globetrotters Club members’ only group at www.flickr.com and is looking to launch a little friendly photographic competition. Get in touch if you would like more details !!

· Gavin Fernandes has had his entry judged at Wanderlust Photo of the year 2008 competition at the Destination Shows 2009 in London & Birmingham and made the short list on the Wildlife Section

· Charles Egan has launched his first novel on the reading world – The Killing Snows is set against the backdrop of the Irish famine in the 1840s. If you are interested in reviewing a copy & having your feedback published, feel free to get in touch with me ?

ThatÂ’s all for nowÂ…enjoy the start of spring and any Easter break you maybe planning,
