NEWSLETTER EXTRA – LATE OCTOBER 2024
OPEN MEETING MONDAY NOVEMBER 4TH
Just a quick reminder that our next Open Meeting is in the Church Rooms, Lostwithiel on Monday November 4th at 2pm.
“The historic US election of 2024 – the fight for America’s democracy and its soul” with guest speaker Robin Dyer
On the eve of the US Presidential Election, we look forward to hearing from local resident Robin Dyer who will be giving us a talk on “The historic US election of 2024 – the fight for America’s democracy and its soul”. Robin is a former Warwickshire cricketer and Headteacher who taught US politics for over thirty years; his passion for the subject developed during Watergate and took off from there. America heads to the polls on Tuesday November 5th after one of the most eventful campaigns for many years, so this will be a highly topical talk on a fascinating subject!
Plus, in our Community Slot, we’ll be welcoming Amanda Tamblin, Practice Manager at the Lostwithiel Medical Practice.
