Rotary plans evening of courage and adventure
Oct 25, 2007
THE Rotary Club of Barnard Castle is presenting an evening of 'courage and adventure' next month.This is the latest in a series of popular public lectures organised by Rotary, and the event, at Barnard Castle School, on NOvember 14, promises to be exceptionally exciting, with demand for tickets continuing to be strong.
Three speakers will tell their remarkable stories with illustrations, and reflect on the spirit of adventure today.
The speakers are: Gabrielle Finn on racing to the North Pole; Trevor Jackson on climbing Everest, and Jock Wishart on rowing the Atlantic.
All three speakers have north east connections. Gabrielle Finn lived in Newcastle before moving to London as a systems analyst with John Lewis. Trevor Jackson is a County Durham farmer and keen member of Durham RFC when not training with the TA, and Jock Wishart is a Durham University graduate who has made a career of adventuring, and as a PR and sponsorship consultant.
Tickets cost £10, including refreshments. All proceeds from the evening will go to Rotary charities. The event is generously supported by the Northern Rock Foundation, which will also provide raffle prizes.
Tickets are available from Kents, The Teesdale Mercury, or the Tourist Office in Barnard Castle. Alternatively send a SAE and cheque made out to "The Rotary Club of Barnard Castle", to John Lowery 5, Town Farm Close, Winston, Darlington, DL2 3RZ.
A number of complimentary tickets are available to sixth formers at Barnard Castle schools. They should enquire at their schools or call 01833 650 899 for more information.
