Four 20 minutes Mini-talks and our New Year Party
Our January meeting gives four speakers to present 20 minute talks, an opportunity to introduce subjects within a tighter format. We hope that talks may include topics that couldn’t be sustained over a normal 40 minute talk or offer a launch for new speakers.
Speaking this month we have:
- Neil Harris – Myoko Festival: Apatani New Year, northeast India
- Sohail Azhar – Pakistan
- Richard Timmis – Naukluft Hiking Trail, Namibia
- Liz Cooper – Wildlife of the Okavango Delta
By tradition we follow this meeting with a New Year Party post-meeting everyone is invited to bring food and drink and participate! (We have permission from the church for you to bring wine, but beer, cider and spirits are not allowed).
London branch meetings are held at The Church of Scotland, Crown Court, behind the Fortune Theatre in Covent Garden at 2.30pm the first Saturday of each month, unless there is a UK public holiday that weekend.
There is no London meeting in August, but we start afresh each September.
We used to have meetings in New York City and New Braunfels, Texas.
Regrettably, after having done a superb job, neither organisers are able to give their time to Globetrotter meetings. If you are based in New York or New Braunfels and have the time to commit to pick up where our previous organisers left off, we’d love to hear from you – please see our FAQ or contact our the Branch Liaison Officer via our Website.
If you are based elsewhere and are interested in starting a branch of the Globetrotters, please feel free to contact us.
