Epping Forest College's FREE Guest Speaker Programme 2018

Sponsored by . . . CRATE Loughton

Friday 26 January - Leigh Timmis, round the world cyclist

In 2010, Leigh left the UK to cycle around the world, on his unique and epic expedition of 44,000 miles over seven years, across 51 countries, and on a budget of only £5 per day. Pushing the limits of cycling and human endurance, he rode his bike - Dolly - in some of the most inhospitable places on Earth but also to some of the most magnificent.

Leigh’s life changing experiences with the people of the world have instilled within him a deep belief in the goodness and strength of humanity. With a background in creative education facilitation, Leigh brings his experiences to life in his presentation.  Leigh is an ambassador for the Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre and continues fundraising.

This event is FREE – but seating is limited, so to confirm your place, please email askelton@efc.ac.uk, and we will confirm back your place – or otherwise! Each speaker has a charity they support, so you will be welcome to leave a donation for that charity on the evening.

The speaker will be on stage promptly at 7.30pm, so please be punctual.  We will serve tea and coffee from 7pm onwards.

The talk will last for around 45 minutes, and will be followed by a Q&A session.  You will then have the opportunity to speak informally with the guest speaker over light refreshments, before the event concludes at 9pm.
