Cartolina 29 April & 4 May

Wednesday 29 April at 7.30 pm, repeated on Monday 4 May at 10.30 am: In this program Wilma talks with students and teachers from the Mosso school in Italy, in occasion of their recent visit to Christchurch, to search for the family and places of the late Corporal Frank Bowes, who fought and was executed with a group of Partigiani during WW2 in Mosso, and to meet with Frank’s son John Bowes. This old trail started in Italy in 1944 and continues now on both sides of the world. A film on this war episode is being made as a school project.

And here is the rest of it.

Monthly Meetings – Torino and the (Re)Born Bambina

Linwood Community Arts Centre, cnr. Stanmore & Worchester Rds, Wed. 14 May, 7:30pm
Evelyn and Alistair Robertson spent several months in Europe last year travelling around in their campervan. On 4 July they went to Torino for the launch of the new Fiat 500. Evelyn will talk about what happened in Piazza Vittorio Veneto and show photos of the new car and some of the special events which took place during the day. After visiting Torino, Evelyn and Alistair walked the Cinque Terre, then headed north to Genoa and crossed into France via Alba and the Colle di Tenda.

After the talk there will be complimentary supper - and coffee made with our new Bialetti mega-caffettiera.
