More Information
Odd European Borders (Richard Stephenson)
Join Richard Stephenson for fascinating exploration into the strangest geopolitical anomalies across Europe and beyond, where history and geography collide in unexpected ways. You will discover the light-hearted "Whiskey War" over Hans Island, a peaceful "conflict" where Canada and Denmark have spent decades taking turns "invading" the land to exchange bottles of spirits...and much more!
Time: 7pm until late (talk starts at 7.30pm)
Venue: Downstairs @ Zero Degrees (Reading)

We meet 1st Tuesday of the month. Format is gathering from 7.00pm with talks commencing at 7.30pm. Talks timings are completely flexible but generally 40-60mins + Q&A with a ~20mins break to encourage social networking.
