Paul gave us a really amusing talk on his trip to Antartica towards the end of last year.
He had us smiling and laughing throughout with his descriptions of his companions and some of the incidents that occurred, all the time showing his wonderful images of the ship, the rough seas and the fantastic Arctic scenery; but above all, his wildlife shots of the penguins, seals, sea lions and the birds with a 'winning shot' of an albatross in flight.
Amongst his fellow passengers were Chris Patton the wildlife photogapher and current presenter of Autumnwatch and the travel reporter for the Independent newspaper Simon Calder who used to do travel reports on Radio 2 on Saturday mornings.
Finally, he showed us a video made during the trip by a fellow traveller who has worked with David Attenborough.
Thank you Paul, we all really enjoyed your evening.
Derek Grieve.
