First Gig Will Be In Church



I now have confirmation of my first UK speaking gig for Pancreatic Cancer UK. The venue is at Trinity Methodist Church in Pemberton, near Wigan.     

The organisation is Orrell Gentlemens' Club -  I am told there's an obvious joke there but Frank Dawber, a member of the club, who arranged this, is certainly a gentleman. I spent a day with Frank when he and several members of his walking club the Walters (Worked All Life, Took Early Retirement) escorted me, in relays, through Lancashire during my epic walk from the Pyrenees to the Pennines. 

The Orrell club meet each Thursday and frequently have a speaker. I shall be on the menu March 26th. It is possible that in addition to the Orrell Club members, some members of the Walters will also be present.

Although this is the first talk to be arranged, don't be shy about asking me to do one before March 26th. I am very flexible.
