November - Wendy Sturgess 'Antarctica & the Falkland Islands'

25/11/2018

 
Armchair Traveller in November provided an extraordinarily interesting presentation by Wendy Sturgess on her recent trip to South America, Argentina, the Falkland Islands and Antartica, with the penguins and seals being the main attraction.  ​
"Photographs @tavishcampbell The building photo was taken in Stanley in the Falkland Islands. Most of the animal photos were in South Georgia and the icebergs were near the Antarctic Peninsula   Wendy Sturgess"
Ray O'Shannessy followed up with a DVD of mountains and fjords of Norway. 

Although numbers were few a keen interest was shown in continuing the course next year.

​Tentatively we look forward to sessions in the afternoon of the first Tuesday on the months of March and May in the first semester.
