| May 14th | Neil Hanson | Inn and Out at the Top The highs and lows of running Britain’s highest inn - so isolated that its next-door neighbour was 4 miles away and so high that it had its own climate, with winds that could tear car doors off their hinges, and winter snows that cut off the inn for weeks on end. |
| June 11th | Nina Smith | Mercy Ships - Floating Hospitals Nina has been a volunteer speaker for Mercy Ships for 3 years. She will describe the faith-based, charity-run international development organisation that deploys hospital ships, partnering with land-based programmes, to deliver transformational healthcare to patients free of charge, without regard to their religion, race or gender. |
