The Aberdeen 2012 Lunch was attended by almost 400 ladies to listen to our speaker, John Peters. The Committee was delighted to have raised £10,000 from this event, thanks to the extreme generosity of our advertisers, raffle prize donors and those present.
The Aberdeen Ladies Lunch is always a very special afternoon and in 2012 our very special guest speaker is Gulf war pilot, Flight Lieutenant, John Peters.
John Peters came to the world’s attention in January 1991, when his bruised and battered face flashed onto television screens around the world. It was his disfigured image that became a potent symbol of Saddam Hussein’s ruthless aggression. His dramatic and sometimes harrowing experiences reach deep into our innermost minds, showing us how we can overcome even our worst fears and nightmares. His war was not all as he expected – it became a seven-week ordeal of torture and interrogation testing John Peters to the absolute limit and bringing him close to death.
Next event is Thursday 14 March 2013 please contact Janet Balcombe on 01505 864334 or email jbalcombe@action.org.uk
