Martin Lloyd - Passports, Assassins, Trains and Spies.
Thrill to stories of how three passports have played their influential role in the course of history: an attempted assassination which altered the regulations for issuing passports; the capture of a spy which caused a worldwide modification to the design of the document and for one person the passport itself which turned into a killer.
Speaker biography
Martin describes himself in his blog as a Writer, Speaker and Cyclist. He first came to national notice when, on BBC Radio 4’s programme, Midweek, he enthralled listeners with his accounts of the history of the passport whilst comfortably patching over the hole left by an absent programme guest, much to the relief of the presenter – after all, this was live radio.
COME DINE WITH ME GROUP
A themed late lunch with food and a courtesy drink will be hosted by the Come Dine With Me team. Food will be prepared by the team members following EHO guidance. The venue will vary, and will be held in one teams homes. Details of location will be advised on booking.
The date of the next event and the purchase of tickets will be available at the membership meeting each month at a cost of £15 per person. (Cash Only please.)
