Grange Lecture Society: A Stroll Through The Axis of Evil by: John Pilkington
Location: Victoria Hall
This will be John’s 5th Visit to Grange. "Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran are in the news for all the wrong reasons," says John. He tested out his theory in a six-month journey from Beirut through Lebanon and Syria, then crossed the Euphrates to Iraq and finally Iran, where he hiked through the Valleys of the Assassins before finishing on a parched island in the Persian Gulf. Throughout he was helped by a spectacular variety of people along the way.

Grange Lecture Society: Only Half a Story by: Brian Wilson
Location: Victoria Hall
Professor Wilson has been collecting old letters for many years. The collection begins in the 14th Century and continues to date. The talk conveys the fascination associated with this hobby and the learning achieved through researching the social context pertaining to the period in which a letter was written. The event initiating the particular letter and the reply are never available and hence all you can get from a single letter is "only half a story".
