3.     Reminder regarding Ian Parnell Seminar.

     I am currently advertising the fact that we have a fantastic speaker coming to Abergavenny in May this year at the Borough Theatre, Abergavenny 7.30 p.m. Saturday 24th May.
Ian Parnell is a world class mountaineer and photographer. Amongst his accolades he has taken Sir Ranulph Fiennes up Everest and the Eiger and has filmed/photographed both events for television and we have been fortunate to be able to book him to provide a wonderful talk and presentation at the Borough Theatre.
