“Discover the Truth behind Polar Expeditions!”
October 6, 2009
Come to my exciting event in the Corn Exchange, Dorchester on Wednesday 21st October at 7pm.
Watch original footage of the first crossing of the Antarctic in 1956/8. The 45 minute film follows the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic expedition which was led by Sir Vivian Fuchs, the first Director of the British Antarctic Survey. This will be preceded with a short talk by Peter Fuchs who will give an intriguing insight into his father’s expedition.
Following free drinks and buffet food, Dr Simon Boxall will then deliver a talk on his Cape Farewell expeditions to the Arctic. These expeditions bring scientists, artists, musicians and film makers together in the High Arctic to do research and investigate the impact of climate change in our polar regions. The voyages have involved musicians such as K T Tunstall and Jarvis Cocker, artists like Antony Gormley and writers such as Ian McEwan. Dr Boxall is a truly engaging speaker and is renowned for the Christmas Lectures he has given.
This is an entirely free event, with any donations on the evening being used to support my expedition to the Antarctic in 2010. Tickets can be collected from either the Thomas Hardye School or Great Western Camping from Monday 12th October. As tickets are limited, please only collect one if you definitely plan on attending. In the meantime, if you would like further information about my expedition or this event, please contact me on 01305 266064 or sthiltonl@thomas-hardye.dorset.sch.uk.
Hopefully see you there!
