SUMMARY:Martin Cross book launch

S Kelly; War hero\, Olympic champion and pianist composer \nby Martin Cross and Dr. Thérèse Radic: Friday\, 9 October 6.30 pm (discussion) for 7.30 pm (informal supper) \nBOOK BY CLICKING HERE \nFrederick Septimus Kelly – is the subject of this\, his first full biography\, written by Martin Cross and Dr. Thérèse Radic. Kelly was born in Sydney but educated at Eton and Oxford. \nKelly – a Leander man – was one of the world’s greatest single scullers\, winning the Diamond Sculls three times and setting a record that lasted almost 40 years. He was the last man to win the Diamonds and Grand on the same day. In 1908\, he was part of the British eight that ‘saved’ the honour of British rowing by beating Belgium in the Olympic final. \nHe was an amazing pianist and is one of Australia’s greatest classical composers. His compositions have been performed at the Proms\, most notably in 2014 to mark the centenary of the First World War. \nThat piece was his Elegy in Memoriam Rupert Brooke – the famous war poet. Kelly was close to Brooke and was part of his burial party\, enroute to the Gallipoli campaign in 1915. Kelly fought through all that campaign and was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross for ‘conspicuous gallantry’ during the evacuation of the Peninsula in January 1916. He served in Northern France and was killed at the end of the Battle of the Somme\, leading his men during the successful attack on Beaucourt Sur l’Ancre in November 1916. He was 35. \nKelly had led a privileged life. He inherited wealth; his father was a mining magnate. He knew all the right people and had access to power and influence. He was the life and soul of any house party\, witty\, engaging and invited everywhere. His diaries record that privileged life\, led against the background of Edwardian high society and high athletic achievement. \nThe authors \nA multiple world and Olympic rowing medallist\, Martin Cross won the gold medal in the coxed four at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics with Steve Redgrave\, Richard Budgett\, Andy Holmes\, and Adrian Ellison. \nHe published an acclaimed autobiography\, Olympic Obsession in 2001\, and is currently working part-time as a history teacher and rowing coach at Hampton School.

He co-commentates with Greg Searle for World Rowing’s international events and was recently part of the commentary team for Channel 4’s television coverage of the University Boat Races. He hosts the YouTube channel Crossy’s Corner. \nDr. Thérèse Radic of Melbourne University is the author/editor of 10 books\, 18 plays and some 200 articles\, monographs\, chapters and reviews on aspects of Australian music history. Currently\, as well as being the co-author of this book\, she is the world’s leading expert on Kelly \n6.30 pm discussion with Martin Cross\, followed by two course set dinner \nMAIN \nSteak & ale pie\, thyme infused mashed potatoes\, tenderstem broccoli\, spring greens & red wine jus \nOR \nThai vegetable curry\, basmati rice & naan bread (v\,gfo) \nDESSERT \nTriple chocolate brownie\, mixed berry coulis & vanilla\n \nCost: £30 per person \nCopies of To Gallipoli and the Somme: F.

SUMMARY:Wine Club: Icons of South Africa
DESCRIPTION:BOOK BY CLICKING HERE \n \n\n✨ Icons of South Africa – The Best of the Best\n\nEarly booking is strongly advised – CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR PLACE \nA Leander Wine Club event\, hosted by Remington Norman £85pp · Only 35 places · Open to all Leander Club members and their guests. \nTaste 12 exceptional South African wines\, shipped directly from the Cape by Leander Wine Club founder David Banford\, and curated by Remington Norman. The tasting is followed by a two-course South African supper\, offering bold flavours\, generous hospitality and a true sense of place. \nEarly booking is strongly advised. \nSouth Africa is often described as the World in One Country. The vast Karoo veld\, the dramatic mountains of the Western Cape and coastlines shaped by both the Indian and Atlantic oceans create a landscape of extraordinary variety. Its wines reflect this same diversity\, from fizz to fortified\, Sauvignon Blanc to Viognier\, Pinot Noir to Petit Verdot\, Syrah to Sangiovese and Chenin Blanc that rivals the Loire. The reds range from Stellenbosch Bordeaux blends to refined MCC from Franschhoek. These wines are expressive\, ageworthy and remarkably good value. \nWith more than 600 estates\, and with most domestic wine sold for under £5\, selecting the best of the best is a genuine challenge. This is precisely where Remington’s expertise matters. \nOur twelve bottle selection is intentionally focused. It offers a clear window into what South Africa does best. \nAbout Remington Norman\nRemington Norman is a distinguished wine merchant and author. He founded La Réserve on Walton Street in London and wrote The Great Domaines of Burgundy\, Rhone Renaissance: The Finest Rhone and Rhone-Style wines from France and the New World\, Grand Cru – A Guide to Burgundy’s Finest Vineyards and Sense and Semblance: An Anatomy of Superficiality in Modern Society. He became a Master of Wine in 1984 (resigned 2004)\, is a two time winner of the André Simon Prize for wine writing and was elected to the Académie Internationale du Vin in 1996. \nHe was educated at Harrow and Hertford College\, Oxford\, where he received his doctorate in 1972. In 1982 he qualified as a BASI ski instructor\, which adds another string to an already impressive bow. He has had a home in South Africa for many years\, although he now spends most of the year in Wiltshire. \nAs Tim Atkin MW notes\, South Africa’s past is ever present. Table Mountain is older than the Himalayas. Muratie has made wine since 1685\, the same year the Edict of Nantes forced Huguenot winemakers to flee France and settle in the Cape\, bringing rootstock that helped shape the country’s wine future. \nWe hope this tasting inspires you to explore one of the world’s most remarkable wine nations\, the Rainbow Nation\, and perhaps visit it yourself. \n\nLeander Wine Club is an informal and friendly group for all of our Members. Please join us and enjoy an evening of wine\, food and good conversation.\n\nMenu \nMAIN \nRoast lamb with all the trimmings \nOR \nFennel\, Lemon and Pea Risotto with toasted pumpkin seeds (v\, vg\, gf) \nDESSERT \nMalva pudding – A South African favourite! \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n
