THERE are still a few tickets left for the last event of the season presented by the Friends of St Thomas a Becket Church, Huntington, near Kington on September 10 at 7.30pm.

Susi Rice from Brilley, will tell of her turbulent early life, from when her family lived in Berlin before the war, to the present. She will describe her family background and events in Berlin, pre-1933, when the threat of Nazism drove the family from Berlin to Teheran. With a brief return to Berlin, they then fled to Italy, followed by a harrowing journey to England. Many of her family died in concentration camps, but her mother and sisters eventually arrived in England, where they were treated as 'aliens'.

She will end her talk with "Where we are now". With the current worldwide political situation regarding refugees, this should be a highly potent talk, from one who faced similar persecutions nearly 60 years ago.

The evening will end with the usual free wine and canapé party, where Susi can be met and people can link up and make new friends. Price £9 per person. Please apply at huntingtonchurch.co.uk or telephone Fiona Shone on 01544 370391.
