Our Woman in the Vatican. You will love Philippa’s stories of close encounters with three Popes. She spent over thirty years working as a journalist for Vatican Radio. During that time she travelled on the papal plane, reported on the role of churches championing democracy in different parts of the world and watched close up the events of John Paul 11’s illness and death

Our Speaker in February is Nigel Cairns and his talk is entitled:

Escape to Spain: through the Pyrenees. Nigel’s plan was to walk in the footsteps of wartime escapees while raising money for the Army Benevolent Fund and has just completed one of the most hazardous escape routes through the treacherous Pyrenean mountains from occupied France into Spain.
